Reinforced concrete modular house construction with "tunnel" metallic formwork: benefits and obstacles

Abstract

The 6th Ibero-American Congress on Special Concretes (concrete and sustainability), HACBAC2025, is a congress whose aim is to bring together valid, original and innovative contributions to the development of knowledge on the material concrete and particularly on special concretes, in a multidisciplinary way, addressing the various issues related to the impact of this area of research, which will necessarily have to overcome various challenges in the near future, both in academia and in industry. This is a continuation of the series of Ibero-American congresses that began in Valencia in 2008, followed by editions in Guimarães, Madrid, Porto and Valencia again, which were interrupted by the untimely pandemic. We are currently experiencing new interests and challenges, which is why we are proposing a call for proposals geared towards sustainability. This 6th edition of HACBAC, organized by the University of the Algarve (UAlg), the National Engineering Laboratory (LNEC), the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) and the University of Cadiz (UCA), will take place on September 18 and 19, 2025, in the historic coastal city of Faro, Algarve, Portugal, at the Higher Institute of Engineering of the University of the Algarve. The official languages of HACBAC2025 will be Portuguese, Spanish and English.
