Sammendrag
PREFACE
In the late 1970's CANMET initiated a major program of transfer of technology in the area of
concrete, cementitious materials, and chemical admixtures. To achieve this, CANMET
initiated a series of international conferences on the above subjects. In 1987, it initiated a new
series of conferences on Durability of Concrete. The first conference in this series was
sponsored by ACI and CANMET and was named Katharine and Bryant Conference on
Durability of Concrete, and was held in Atlanta, USA, in 1987. Subsequently, these
conferences were named CANMET/ACI conference. The second conference in this series was
held in Montreal in 1991. This was followed by the third conference in 1994 in Nice, France,
the fourth conference in 1997 in Sydney, Australia, the fifth conference in 2000 in Barcelona,
Spain, and the sixth conference in 2003 in Thessoloniki, Greece. The last conference in this
series, the Seventh CANMET/ACI International on Durability of Concrete was held in 2006
in Montreal, Canada. After, this series of conferences was discontinued because of several
administrative and policy changes at CANMET.
Then in 2008, during a conference in China, a meeting was held between Harald Justnes,
Stefan Jacobsen and Per Jahren, all of Norway and myself to explore if the above series of
conferences could be revived under a new sponsorship.
This new series is a result of that important meeting in China. I am delighted that SINTEF and
the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim have seen fit to
undertake the sponsorship of the conferences. I earnestly hope that this new series of
conferences will be as successful as were the CANMET/ACI Conferences on Durability. I
offer the New Organizing Committee my best wishes and a good start.

Conference
We are honored to take on the responsibility of building a new congress series based on the
heritage of the former CANMET/ACIConferences on Durability of concrete as described in
the history of these conferences by the Honorary Chair Mohan Malhotra of this congress. We
are committed to creating an opportunity for professional development, to share and
disseminate information, and to foster the continuous advancement of the important field of
Concrete Durability. Every aspect of the congress is intended to make your time here
beneficial, professionally and personally. It will function as an arena where colleagues
working in every aspect of Concrete Durability can meet, and where you can extend your
network with other professionals in your field.
Even though it is our intention to bring the ICDC around the world on a regular basis with
some years apart, it is our privilege to start out in Trondheim with the 1st one in the new
series since it is the “home-town” of both our institutions; SINTEF (the Foundation for
Industrial and Technical Research) and NTNU (the Norwegian University of Science and
Technology).
Sincerely yours,
Prof. Dr. Harald Justnes, Chairman Organizing Committee
Prof. Dr. Stefan Jacobsen, Chairman Scientific Committee
