About NITK
National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK) Surathkal is located in Mangalore (also called Mangaluru) City, Karnataka State, India. NITK is a centrally funded technical institute and was established in the year 1960. NITK is a premier institution engaged in imparting quality technical education and providing support to research and development activities. NITK is recognized as an institute of national importance by an act of Indian parliament. NITK has carved a niche for itself among the best technical institutions in India. NITK has been consistently ranked among the top ten technical institutions in the country. Today, the institute offers 9 B.Tech, 27 post graduate and doctoral programmes in all its 14 departments and is making significant advances in R&D and outreach activities. NITK has earned a good reputation as a centre for academic, research and industrial consulting activities and it is probably the only institution in the country which can boast of its own beach.
About the Department
The Department of Civil Engineering is the one of the oldest departments of this institute, which established in the year 1960. The department presently offers one B.Tech, six post graduate and doctoral programmes in various disciplines. The department has well experienced faculty, skilled technical staff and well-equipped laboratories. It is recognised QIP centre for training of faculty from other engineering colleges and polytechnics. The department has been always in the forefront in taking up R&D initiatives and industrial consultancy assignments.
About the Conference
In developing sector like construction industry, different materials are used for the infrastructure development. For example, Concrete is the most widely used building material in the world because of its strength, durability and it is favourably used in nearly all type of construction. Reinforced concrete structures can deteriorate in a rapid rate due to exposure to aggressive environment, issues related to poor workmanship, limited availability of good quality materials and lack of awareness on good construction practices. This is exacerbated by climate change and associated increase in deterioration mechanisms, which is not accounted in the design of reinforced concrete structures. The World Bank climate change impact study suggests that under 4°C warming, the coastal regions are projected to shift to new, high-temperature climatic regimes, sea-level rise and storm surges that will lead to salt water intrusion in the coastal areas and increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and will collectively have a damaging effect on the performance of concrete structures. To construct durable and resilient concrete structures which are capable of withstanding the aggressive environment for the intended design life, there is a need to study the local factors that influence concrete durability. The major factors that contribute to premature deterioration of concrete structures in aggressive environments and factors related to the development of cost-effective concrete mix design to enhance the durability of future structures and recommendations on improvements in construction practice and workmanship are necessary to improve the service life of structures.
Considering all these, to develop a sustainable, climate resilient structures with improved service life, there is a great need to the academicians, practitioners and technologists to consider major factors that contribute to premature deterioration of concrete structures in aggressive environments and factors related to the development of cost effective concrete mix design to enhance the durability of future structures with recommendations on improvements in construction practice and workmanship.
