21st Conference

On February, 29th and March, 1st 2012 the 21. conference on "Rheology of Building Materials took place in Regensburg Germany at the University of Applied Science. More then 120 participants has been in Regensburg in 2012. Twelve presentations has been given about measurement and control of the flow properties of mortar,  fresh concrete, UHPC, SCC, steel fiber reinforced concrete and similar materials.
