INTRODUCTION

Chemically activated materials as an alternative to traditional cement and concrete have received increasing attention in the recent decades due to the public and regulators’ divers to more environmental friendly construction materials. The first international conference on chemically activated materials (CAM2010) was held in Jinan, China 2010, and the second conference (CAM2014) was held in Changsha, China 2014. Many world-leading experts in this area participated and presented their work. Along the great success of the first two conferences, the 3rd CAM conference is to expend to outside China, and is scheduled at 8-11 August 2017, in the beautiful Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Australia. The aim of the conference is again to bring together leading experts in this field from around the world to present the recent achievements, share the latest development and address the challenges in these innovative and very promising materials. It is also aimed to further promote research, development and applications of chemically activated materials.

MAIN TOPICS (but not limited to)

• Chemical activation mechanisms
• Raw material characterization and evaluation
• Microstructure development and integrity
• Workability and process controllability
• Performance and durability
