Invitation to Canada
And CONMAT05
On behalf of the ConMat05 Committees, the
University of British Columbia, the Canadian
Society for Civil Engineering and the
Japanese Society of Civil Engineers, we have
the pleasure of inviting you to Vancouver for
the Third International Conference on
Construction Materials: Performance,
Innovations and Structural Implications.
At ConMat05, we are particularly interested in
bridging the interdisciplinary fields of Materials
and Structures. The response to our Call for
Papers has been overwhelming and over 500
papers from 49 countries have been offered.
In addition, the Technical Committee has
invited a number of leading international
experts to deliver talks on a wide range of
Vancouver, Gateway to the Pacific
2
topics of interest to you. As well, a
commemorative symposium has been
planned to honor and recognize the lifetime
achievements of Prof. Sid Mindess.
We hope that ConMat05 will be a stimulating
and rewarding experience for you and that it
will foster personal friendships and promote
international cooperation. Vancouver, the
gateway to the Pacific, welcomes you, and we
hope you will have a pleasant, productive and
memorable stay here.

Welcome toVancouver
Tucked in the southwestern corner of
mainland British Columbia is Vancouver - a
beautiful and vibrant city built to satisfy its
visitors' whims.
The city, in its beautiful setting between
mountains, coastline, Stanley Park and Lions
Gate Bridge, is a sight in itself. Here you can
find exciting cultural pursuits, enticing
restaurants, and endless outdoor recreational
activities. Vancouver is famous for its unique
combination of sea, sky, and mountains.
Close to the Conference venue youll find
Stanley Park, which offers endless forest
trails, a world-class aquarium, beaches, and a
seaside walkway that encircles the entire
park, and if adventurous, can lead you across
5
the Lions Gate Bridge to North Vancouver,
and the foot of the majestic North Shore
Mountains.
Downtown Vancouver is a fluid concept, as it
runs into both the West End and the
Downtown Eastside. Roughly, it is the area
bounded by Burrard Street on the west, False
Creek on the south, Vancouver Harbour on
the north, and from the corner of Cordova and
Granville to Science World, on False Creek
on the east side. It's not a large area, and
can easily be crossed in less than an hour's
walking.
Welcome to Vancouver the Gateway to the
Pacific.
ConMat05 6

Technical program
ConMat05 will strive to create an environment of mutual cooperation between experts in
Materials and Structures and provide a forum for active dialogue. The Organizers believe that it is
only through such a multi-disciplinary approach that significant cross-fertilization of ideas can
occur and innovative solutions to our infrastructural inadequacies can be found. Come and be a
part of this unique experience.

Mindess symposium
Concrete: Bridging Materials and Structures
A tribute to Prof. S. Mindess

(Symposium Chairs: A. Bentur, Technion, Israel,

S.P. Shah, Northwestern University, USA, and
N. Banthia, The University of British Columbia, Canada)

A symposium honouring the lifetime

achievements of Dr. Sidney Mindess will be
organized in conjunction with ConMat05.

In his career spanning 35 years, Professor

Mindess has contributed extensively to the
understanding of materials and their structural
applications. As well as being an expert on
the mechanical properties and structure of
concrete, fiber reinforced concrete, and high
performance concrete, Dr. Mindess is very
broad in his approach to materials research,
which includes wood and aggregates. He has
led a number of modern developments in the
application of fracture mechanics, and
continues to do pioneering work on the strain-
rate effects on concrete. Dr. Mindess is very
active in RILEM and chairs their Technical
Activities Committee. As well, he has
authored three widely referenced books.
