November 2014 Vol. 5 Issue: 11 From e President s Desk Durability of concrete structures is a major concern all over e World and particularly in India. Lack of durability may be due to : Poor construction practices Lack of maintenance Defects due to faulty design and detailing Damages due to earquake, fire etc. Deterioration of concrete structures in aggressive environments Some of e key areas at need attention is: - Consideration of durability while designing a concrete mix - Test meods to ensure durability - Incorporation of materials in concrete towards reducing its porosity and ereby improving its durability. - Review of environmental exposure condition as laid down in codes - Codal provisions to ensure durability - Performance based specification - Performance record of structure nd ICI has already taken initiatives to address e above issues. The 2 International Congress on Durability of Concrete, ICDC 2014 was held at New Delhi, from 4 to 6 December, 2014 in association wi Norwegian Concrete Association. The event was conducted successfully by ICI New Delhi Centre. Around 300 Delegates from different Countries and India participated in e Congress. The deliberations in e Congress will furer be taken into consideration in ICI Technical Committee on Durability of Concrete. ICI has taken initiative to have a more spacious office space which has been felt imperative for its overall functioning. One of e major constraints is e fund for purchasing e proposed office space. Several ways for generation of fund is being explored. Meanwhile, I request all ICI Members / Well wishers to donate money for e proposed ICI HQ building. A separate Building Fund A/c has been created in e name "Indian Concrete Institute Building Fund", ICICI Bank, SB A/c No: 000101234368, IFSC: ICIC0000001, Branch: Cenotaph Road, Chennai, and donations can be deposited directly to is account. Contributions of each will be acknowledged rough publication of e names in ICI e-bulletin and ICI Journal. I take is opportunity to appeal to all ICI Members / Well Wishers to donate. Prof. S.
