The symposium is an inter-college event where students openly discuss the topics explored within each college’s respective theme.
Every RC student will give either a Presentation or a Poster - either as a group or as an individual project. Every RC student will also be an audience member.
At Registration, you will receive a name tag with your schedule on it. The Symposium is organized into two, concurrent, sessions: Session I: 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. & Session II: 3:10 p.m. - 4:40 p.m.
Here in the 21st century, concrete is everywhere. Modern civilization depends on it. Yet, concrete is not some recent phenomenon. In fact, concrete was being used before even 0 A.D. Romans used the material extensively, building such marvels as the Colosseum and the Pantheon. Any trip to Rome today would be much less exciting without Roman concrete's impressive ability to survive the wear and tear of the centuries. What properties allow concrete to withstand the test of time? And how do these properties hold up in comparison to modern concrete? Join us as we explore concrete throughout the ages.
