5th JSCE Concrete Committee Webinar

Frontiers ofConcrete Technology
The Concrete Committee of the Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) holds a webinar on
the frontiers in concrete research and technology to share and discuss the cutting-edge
technologies of concrete materials and structures. We invite two leading researchers fromthe advanced field in concrete engineering. After their presentations (30min.x2), we discuss
the field's current status and future direction (50min.).
