WELCOME TO ICI ACECON 2010

Concrete is the single most important requirement for any infrastructural development. It is the most used man-made material in the world. It accounts for more than all the other building materials put together. As of 2006, about 7.5 cubic kilometres of concrete are made each year. That is more than one cubic metre for every person on Earth. Concrete industry employs many million workers around the world. India is the second largest consumer of concrete in the world. Today the challenges are many on designing concrete structures that are sustainable, safe, green and complex in nature. On the other side, concrete also accounts for about 6% of the total manmade greenhouse gas release. Indian Concrete Institute has been doing great deal of efforts on betterment of structural concrete. ICI has conducted various Indian and International seminars disseminating knowledge and technology to a large number of people in India. ‘Asian Conference on Ecstasy in Concrete’ (ACECON) is one such conclave that ICI has been conducting since 2000. ACECON 2010 is the 3rd in the series after Bengaluru and Mumbai. The 3 day conference will feature all aspects of concrete construction with the theme ‘Ecstasy in Concrete’.
