Concrete Technology and Sustainable Development: Key Issues from the 1999 Vancouver Symposium on Concrete

This paper examines concrete and concrete technology in light of sustainable development. Because concrete is the most widely used building material in the world it has an important role to play. Therefore the author argues it falls to engineers to develop a world view in problem solving which considers the effects of infrastructure decisions on the earth and all living things.
