16th Euroseminar on Microscopy Applied to Building Materials

2017

Abstract

In this book you will find the extended abstracts of the 16th Euroseminar on Microscopy Applied to Building Materials (EMABM) held in Les Diablerets, Switzerland, from 14th to 17th May 2017. EMABM is one of the most important meeting which brings academicians, students, engineers, geoscientists and industry professionals together in order to share the latest developments and results in the field of characterization of past, present and future building materials. Special emphasis is given on various microscopy techniques. For this 16th edition we have ended up with 39 presentations grouped in 4 sessions (Cultural Heritage, Hydration and Clinker, ASR and Other), and 11 posters.

Microscopy

Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye). There are three well-known branches of microscopy: optical, electron, and scanning probe microscopy, along with the emerging field of X-ray microscopy. Optical microscopy and electron microscopy involve the diffraction, reflection, or refraction of electromagnetic radiation/electron beams interacting with the specimen, and the collection of the scattered radiation or another signal in order to create an image.

Building material

Building material is material used for construction. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, rocks, sand, wood, and even twigs and leaves, have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic. The manufacturing of building materials is an established industry in many countries and the use of these materials is typically segmented into specific specialty trades, such as carpentry, insulation, plumbing, and roofing work.

Green building

Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a structure and the application of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This requires close cooperation of the contractor, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages. The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.
