Asian Conference on Ecstasy in Concrete
An International Conference and Exhibition The Hyderabad Chapter of the Indian Concrete Institute (ICI) is thrilled to announce the 6th Asian Conference on Ecstasy in Concrete (ACECON 2025). Building on the success of ACECON Conferences in Bengaluru (2000), Mumbai (2005), Chennai (2010), Kolkata (2015), and Delhi (2022), the excitement continues with the 6th ACECON on Concrete Innovations: Exploring Tomorrow’s Frontiers
Hyderabad is proud to host ACECON 2025. The city’s dynamic growth and concrete innovation create opportunities for the next generation of urban infrastructure. Known for its rich cultural heritage and modern tech driven economy, Hyderabad is now leading the charge in sustainable construction practices and low-carbon concrete solutions. Join us in Hyderabad to experience firsthand how a vibrant city is building a sustainable future through cutting-edge concrete innovations and technologies.
Conference ThemesConcrete Innovations: Exploring Tomorrow’s Frontiers,” focuses on Sustainable Concrete Structures & Low-Carbon Technologies. Key areas of exploration at ACECON 2025 include:

Low-Carbon Concrete: Alternative binders, low clinker cements, carbon capture technologies; optimized production processes
and material selection, life cycle analysis (LCA)

Innovations in Concrete: 3D Concrete Printing, Ultra high-performance Concrete, Performance-based design.

Circular Economy in Concrete: Reusing and recycling concrete waste, Post-industrial waste utilization.

Solutions for Sustainable Cities: Energy efficient, and environmentally friendly infrastructure, Enhancing durability, and resilience for modern infrastructure.
Smart and Adaptive Concrete Structures: Smart technologies for environmental responsiveness, self-sensing and self healing concrete, climate resilient structures.Call for Abstracts & Important DatesAuthors are invited to submit abstracts (up to 300 words).

INTERACTIVE ICI-WORKSHOP ON NEW IS-456 DRAFT
2026-03-06 - 2026-03-07
The latest draft of IS:456 marks a major shift from earlier editions. In this 5th revision, prestressed concrete design is included and the code is retitled “Structural Concrete: Code of Practice”, leading to the withdrawal of IS:1343-2012 after publication. Six design criteria-strength, serviceability, durability, robustness, integrity, and restorability-have been introduced. New concepts of durability, service life, and time-dependent concrete properties (based on CEB-FIB Model Code 2020) are included, along with provisions for fire, blast, and impact design.
With expert faculty drawn from the code-drafting team, this workshop offers a valuable opportunity to understand and interpret the new IS:456 draft.
