Organizers and sponsors

Organized by the EConomic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the International Council for Building Research Studies and Documen- tation (CIB), and RILEM, in co-operation with the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), the National Housing Authori ty (NHA) and the Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research (TISTR) in Bangkok, the symposium is privileged to have the sponsorship of the United Nations Centre for Human Settle- ments (UNCHS), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Orga- nization (UNESCO) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organiza- tion (UNIDO).

Background

It is intended to be a forum for the stimulation and exchange of innovation thinking in the field of building materials production and use in low- income housing and it wil l take place early in 1987 as an important contr ibution to the celebration of IYSH.

It is the second in a series of such sym- posia that began in Nairobi, Kenya in 1983 and one is to be conducted also in Latin America.

MIX DESIGN AND QUALITY CONTROL FOR BITUMINOUS MIXES

For the three subjects given below, two objectives are regarded as essential:

�9 to evaluate all the information giving the ability to assess methods, their advan- tages and drawbacks and also the manner in which problems could be solved even- tually;

�9 to establish a better understanding and a better reporting of results between research and practical engineering attempting to establish common ground between research, road authorities and construction.

Subject 1. - Design methods for the production of mixes

1 (a): Methods based on traditional mechanical tests, conventional and modi- fied.

1 (b): Methods based on modern mechanical tests, by single or repeated loading.

1 (c): Analytical methods (from the properties of the constituents) with or w i thout additional mechanical tests.

Subject 2. - Quality control methods for mixes

2 (a): Complete quality control methods for production and buying_ and laying procedures.

2 (b): Methods based on mechanical tests.

2 (c): Methods based on analytical tests.

Subject 3. - C o m p a r i s o n o f results on test samples and performance tests

3 (a) Influence of methods of prepara- tion of samples on the structural and mechanical properties of mixes.

3 (b): Correlation between results of mechanical tests on test pieces made in the laboratory and/or taken from the road and performance in situ.

For the three themes mentioned above and the eight sections:

- one "subject reporter" per section will present a short introduction to sum- marize the known points of v iew and express his own, thus opening and anima- ting the discussion;

- each participant wil l have prepared his contributions to the discussions on one or other of the sections, taking care that they do not take the form of detailed communications, but rather of a judicious opinion whether in the sphere of research, practice, or the elaboration of guidelines and the control of their application;

- the moderator for each subject wil l actively promote the discussions using his reporters drawing together conclusions conforming with the guidelines imposed by objectives accepted for the seminar.

Seminar proceedings These will comprise the presentations,

contributions from the floor and the conclusions reached.

Languages English and French.
