CURSOS DE ACTUALIZACIÓN DE CEMENTO
EUROPEAN CEMENT RESEARCH ACADEMY. ECRA
ALTERNATIVE FUELS: QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL
Lugar
:
Fecha
:
marzo, 2015
Robilante, Italia
Del 24 al 25 de
Objective:
Overview of suitable pre-treatment
techniques for different kinds of
alternative
fuels. The increasingly
important aspect of comprehensive
quality surveillance will be examined
together with health and safety aspects.
Target Group:
The seminar is targeted at senior process
engineers and experienced chemists
dealing with the use of alternative fuels.
Practical experience in aspects of quality
control would be helpful.
Description:
The environmentally safe and appropriate
recovery of alternative materials in the
cement manufacturing process is an issue
of growing concern for the European
cement industry. The revision of the
European waste legislation will strengthen
requirements further. On the one hand,
the necessity to substitute primary
materials (fossil fuels) with suitable
alternatives will increase. On the other
hand, the environmentally safe and
proper operation of the process must be
safeguarded. Product quality also has to
be taken into account. The increase in
competition between recycling and energy
recovery leads to a situation where
suitable alternative materials are not
always available on the market. This
favours more and more sophisticated pretreatment technologies for gaining
suitable waste fuels from mixed fractions,
but at the same time an appropriate
quality surveillance system must be
applied
in
order
to
safeguard
environmentally
friendly
cement
production. Furthermore, health and
safety aspects and also public concerns
increasingly have to be taken into
consideration. The seminar includes a visit
to the Buzzi Unicem cement plant in
Robilante, Italy.
Presentations:
 Current legal requirements and latest
developments in the European waste
legislation
 Comprehensive
pre-treatment of
alternative fuels; Requirements of
modern pre-treatment technologies
 Implementation
of
a
quality
surveillance system for alternative
fuels on site
 Process-integrated quality surveillance
of alternative fuels
 Health and safety aspects concerning
the use of alternative fuels
 Future aspects; Drivers and barriers for
using alternative fuels.

Duesseldorf, Alemania
25 de junio, 2015
Objective:
For cement manufacturers to offer a
market-driven portfolio it is essential to
understand current and future customer
and market demands. The aim of the
seminar is to inform about and discuss
current and anticipated developments and
trends in the use of cement in concrete.
Target Group:
R & D staff, sales and marketing staff.
Description:
The continuous reduction of the clinker
content in cement has led to an
improvement of the environmental
performance of cement and concrete in
particular with regard to the global
warming potential. How can this approach
be pursued further? Where are the
technical limitations of this development?
What impact does this trend have on the
next generations of the European cement
standard EN 197 and the European
concrete standard EN 206? Where are the
opportunities
and
challenges
of
performance-related design criteria for
concrete? How do these developments
and the requirements and needs of the
construction industry match? These and
other questions will be addressed.
Presentations:
 The European Concrete Standard EN
206 today and in the future
The new EN 206
The equivalent durability
procedure
Service life design and
durability classes
 The European technical assessment
(ETA) procedure
 Prediction of concrete durability by
hydration degree-based characteristic
values
 Cement grades with a low clinker
content
for
“green”
concrete
structures
 Robust concrete mix design

Site-relevant
performance
characteristics and test methods

Principles for robust concrete mixe

22 de octubre, 2015
Objective:
Overview of interactions between cement and
concrete admixtures
Target Group:
Sales, marketing and consulting engineers, R&D
staff.
Description:
In order to optimise the admixture effect or to
avoid
unscheduled
effects,
a
detailed
understanding of possible interactions in the
concrete and especially between cement
components, e.g. blast furnace slag, limestone or
fly ash and admixtures is necessary. The seminar
will give an overview of the wide range of common
and new concrete admixtures. Participants will
gain extended
basic knowledge about the interactions between
cement and concrete admixtures. New results
from several research activities on the different
operative mechanisms and the influence of
concrete admixtures on the hydration process and
on other properties of fresh and hardened
concrete will be presented and discussed.
Presentations:
 Introductory general report:
History, facts, application, effects
Plasticizers and superplasticizers
 Air-entraining agents
 Retarders & Hydration inhibitors
 Accelerators
 Shrinkage reducing admixtures


slag. They will be provided with the skills required
through a combination of presentations and
related discussions. Special issues or problems
communicated by the participants in advance can
be discussed. The practical application of X-ray
diffraction in the cement industry and its advances
will be addressed.

MULTISCALE MODELING COURSE FOR CONCRETE
Fecha:
Lugar:
DEL 05 al 09 de octubre, 2015
Darmstadt, Alemania
http://www.citg.tudelft.nl/fileadmin/Faculteit/CiTG/Actueel/Symposia_en_Congressen/E
vents_Materials_and_Environment/CMC___MMC/doc/Compleet_MMC15_versie181114.1.pdf
The RILEM Multi-scale Modelling Course for Concrete (MMC2) provides the opportunity for
participants to become familiar with modelling cementitious materials at four different levels of
detail. Different ways of schematization and numerical approaches are considered to simulate the
chemical, physical and mechanical behaviour of cementitious materials. The main back-bone of the
course are the different modelling levels at which heterogeneous and composite cementitious
materials can be schematized and how these different levels can “communicate” by means of
parameters passing methods or through upscaling models. The modelling levels that will be teached
in this course are the macro-, meso-, micro-, and nano-level. The course emphasizes the different
modelling approaches for each scale level and shows a couple of conceptual techniques on how
“numerical gaps” between scale levels can be bridged. The course is commencing at the macro-scale
level where emphasis is on early-age temperature and stresses development of hardening concrete,
and how commercial FEM software can be applied. The meso-level deals with fracture mechanics
and brittleness with emphasis on the Lattice model, followed by the micro-level which is on the
hydration and microstructure properties using pixel and vextor-based approaches, and finally, the
nano-level dealing wih the backgrounds of CSH gel using molecular dynamics and ab initio schemes.
For the course participants, the MMC2 course provides a chance to acquire a glance of the varieties
of numerical possibilities in an intensive course week of lectures and workshops. The course is set-up
in such a way that theoretical lectures and practical workshops alternate day by day and, besides
this, course participants are also invited to present themselves and their own work during an
elevator pitch talk. There will be a mix of events and topics centred around the theme of multi-scale
modelling that makes the course very “dynamic”.
Following the success of the past seven MMC2 courses organized so far (Delft 2008, Nanjing 2009,
Bilbao 2010, Delft 2011, Nanjing 2012, Delft 2013, Beijing 2014), this year the course will be
organized in Darmstadt, next to Frankfurt. The course will be co-organized by the Microlab of Delft
University of Technology and the Technical University of Darmstadt. Lecturers will be provided by
teachers from Delft University of Technology (Macro, meso and micro), Tecnali Spain (Nano
modeling), and the Technical University of Darmstadt (micro and transport modeling). The upscaling
lectures will be a joint contribution of teachers from TU Delft and TU Darmstadt. Models will be
presented that address all scale levels which makes the course a real multi-scale modelling course,
i.e. from macro - to - nano!
Summary
Addressing lectures for macro- to nano- scale modelling.
Theoretical and practical workshops on multi-scale modelling.
Modelling mechanical, physical and chemical behaviour at different scale levels.
Emphasizing different approaches of modelling and how “numerical gaps” can be bridged.

CEMENT FACTORY QUALITY CONTROL
Fecha:
26 January, 13 April, 10 August, 09 November, 2015
Costo: The cost of the Cement Factory Quality Control online training course is: US$1000
A six-week modular course exploring the quality control of cement manufacture, including
the different quality control challenges faced by different cement factories around the world,
plus the philosophies, testing, tools and equipment used to address those quality control
challenges.
Module 1 explores the quality control challenge presented by cement manufacture. Cement
is a hydraulic binder used in conjunction with other materials whose performance can only
inferred and predicted during its manufacture. As a consequence there is an overriding
requirement to minimise variability in material composition and processing throughout the
manufacturing process. Quality assurance systems must be developed to control the
composition of all inputs to the manufacturing process and all processing conditions.
Cement products may be developed for multiple applications but the requirement to
minimise variation remains paramount.
Module 2 – Statistical process control (SPC) relies on the centering of quality targets on the
requirements of the customer or application, followed by the reduction of the variation
about those targets to ensure that non-compliant material is never produced. It is therefore
the methodology to be used in the quality control of cement manufacture and the main
topic of module 2 of the course. This use of statistical process control needs to extend far
beyond the laboratory and composition testing of the materials. It needs to be extended to
control the manufacturing conditions within the process. Progressive reduction of variation
using SPC techniques leads to the continuous improvement which is demanded of all quality
management systems.
Module 3 we explore the detail of the quality control throughout the cement manufacturing
process. Raw material chemistry control and raw mix design, kiln feed particle size and
reactivity control, clinker real mineralogy control via microscopy or XRD. Cement surface
area and particle size distribution, gypsum dehydration and calcium sulphate mineralogy,
extender quality and storage or transportation considerations. Finally the physical testing of
cement to ensure that the manufacturing quality control addresses the needs of the cement
in its concrete and mortar applications.

CEMENT FACTORY MAINTENANCE
Fecha
06 April, 20 July, 19 October, 2015
Costo: The cost of the Cement Factory
Maintenance online training course is:
US$1000.
A 6 week modular course exploring the
maintenance of cement factories, including
the different maintenance challenges faced by
different cement factories around the world,
the assessment of cement manufacturing
equipment condition, common maintenance
and reliability problems, their solution and the
organization of the maintenance function on a
cement factory.
Course Content
Module 1 the course explores the different
maintenance challenges presented by cement
factories, dependent on their scale, location,
number of lines operated and vintage. Also
the ways in which maintenance will be judged,
not only from the availability of the
equipment and the costs of maintenance, but
also from the overall equipment effectiveness.
Availability of spare parts will make a vital
contribution to the effectiveness of
maintenance, but what level of spare parts
can or should be provided? Many factors
which will impact on the effectiveness of
maintenance throughout the life of the
cement factory are determined when the
factory is laid out and the equipment is
designed. These factors need to be taken into
consideration when cement factories are first
established as they will never be able to be
changed in the future.
Module 2 of the course the inter-related
issues of cement factory condition
assessment, common problems and their
resolution are explored. Cement kilns must
operate for long, continuous campaigns to
minimise their thermal energy consumption.
In order to do this, their mechanical condition
must be regularly assessed and adjusted, if
necessary, to prevent long-term damage and
the requirement for major repair involving
massive loss of time and clinker production. A
cement kiln is in fact an assemblage of interconnected sub-systems which must all
operate reliably. The kiln is only as reliable as
the weakest of these sub-systems, so the raw
meal preparation, kiln feed system, fuel
preparation and delivery, clinker cooling and
transport and the exhaust gas venting and
dedusting systems are all expected to operate
for these long campaigns. There will be some
overtaking capacity in some of these subsystems
allowing
limited
time
for
maintenance, but all will be expected to give
reliable performance.
In the final module of the course the theories
of maintenance organisation, as they relate to
cement factories, are explored. What is the
role of breakdown, preventive and condition
based maintenance in cement factories? How
do approaches such as Total Productive
Maintenance
and
Reliability
Centred
Maintenance apply to cement factories? What
changes on the organisation of maintenance
and the skills of the maintenance personnel
are required to implement these changes in
cement factory maintenance philosophy?
Computerised maintenance management
systems make a vital contribution to these
approaches to maintenance and are a
prerequisite for the effective maintenance of
a modern cement factory.
Course Material
Throughout the course the lectures are
supplemented with exercises allowing
participants to relate the course material to
their cement factories, or the cement
factories of their clients in the case of
equipment or service suppliers to the cement
industry. Certification is achieved by
completing a satisfactory level of exercises,
and by end of module exams.
The course is complete with downloadable
handouts of the lectures, exercises, and
reading material for the training record.

WHITE CEMENT MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
Fecha: 23 February, 07 September, 2015
Costo: The cost of the White Cement Manufacturing Technology on-line training course is:
US$ 800.
This 6 week online training course will be suitable for employees of white cement
manufacturing companies, those who are considering manufacturing white cement, and
employees of companies supplying equipment, goods and services to white cement
manufacturers.
Module 1 - Will cover the applications and composition of white cement. At the outset
students will need to know what we are making and why. White cement is an Ordinary
Portland cement, as is grey cement, but with the defining characteristic of its whiteness. It is
a niche product that finds application in prestige projects where the appearance of mortar
or concrete is important. In many applications it provides a surface finish as flooring, precast
panels, mortar screeds or even white cement based paints, rather than structural concrete.
We will talk about some of these applications in a dedicated session of this Module 1. As
whiteness is the defining characteristic of white cement we will also consider whiteness and
whiteness measurement in a dedicated session of module 1.
Module 2 - Will consider raw materials for white cement manufacture and their Processing
Module 3 & 4 - will consider the pyro processing of white cement clinker where the key
differences from grey cement manufacture are found.
Module 5 - we will consider the finish grinding of white cement and also the typical
organization and management of a white cement factory.
Module 6 - we will review the white cement industry and players around the world. Again
we will highlight the differences with the grey cement industry. And speculate on how the
white cement industry might develop in the future.

PURPOSE & BACKGROUND
This program provides detailed instruction on how to implement pervious concrete pavements as a solution
to reducing stormwater runoff from building sites and other paved areas. Attendees will learn the details of
pervious concrete pavement systems, engineering properties and construction techniques.
Reduction of Stormwater Runoff Pervious concrete is a performance-engineered concrete
with a 15-30% void system that allows rainwater to percolate through it. When pervious concrete is used for
parking areas, streets, plazas and walkways it minimizes stormwater runoff to surrounding streams and
lakes and allows for natural filtration to recharge local groundwater supplies.
Environmental Benefits Although pervious concrete has been used in some areas for decades, recent
interest in green building and recognition of pervious pavements by the U.S. EPA as a best practice for
stormwater management has heightened interest in its use throughout North America. Its use supports
national initiatives such as Cool Communities and Low Impact Development and provides a potential for
credit in the LEED® rating system for sustainable building construction.
Economic Benefits Pervious concrete reduces the need for expensive stormwater drainage and wet pond
retention systems, thereby allowing for more economical and beneficial land use.

HANDLING CONCRETE SPECIFICATIONS, LOW STRENGTH PROBLEMS AND MIXTURE
SUBMITTALS
Fecha:
Costo:

2015
$ 295.00
[email protected]; phone 240-485-1152
SEMINAR PURPOSE
Dealing with concrete specifications, troubleshooting low-strength problems and ensuring proper mixture
submittals can be expensive and time consuming. This one-day course will get into the code and
specification requirements (ACI 318, 301, ASTM C94) governing ready mixed concrete, including the new ACI
Building Code 318-08 exposure categories. It will suggest specification revisions for all around benefits in
performance and cost based on a specification guideline document. The guideline document is the result of
reviewing numerous concrete specifications (Section 03300) belonging to large owners, and it has been
reviewed and supported by the NRMCA Research, Engineering & Standards (RES) Committee.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Producers and contractors who attend this seminar will benefit in their discussions with design
professionals. Equipped with in-depth knowledge about improving concrete specifications, they will better
be
able
to
address
performance
issues,
avoid
conflict,
and
save
money. Producers,contractors, engineers and testing labs will learn much from the discussions on
investigating low-strength problems, helping them to avoid issues that impact partnering, project cost and
schedule. For concrete producers, understanding how to do a proper mixture submittal is an essential skill,
and it will be thoroughly covered during this seminar.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Troubleshooting low strength problems is perhaps the primary reason for back charges for a concrete
company. This could be almost entirely avoided by knowledgeable concrete technical personnel. The course
will cover the analysis of strength test results to identify the causes of low-strength problems, including
technician competence, and will provide guidance in tracking compliance with specification requirements.
Other topics to be discussed include non-destructive testing techniques (such as the Rebound Hammer),
core testing, evaluating core test results for acceptance, and the assignment of responsibility.
Another part of this course provides the necessary details required for an efficient concrete mixture
submittal following the ACI 318 flowchart for Selection of Concrete Mixtures. Analysis of a typical mixture
submittal will be conducted as a group exercise.
