4月11日下午3时，由土木工程学院主办主题为 “Recent Advances in Sustainable Concrete”的学术报告会在土木楼212报告厅举行，本次学术报告会主讲人为澳大利亚南澳大学诸葛燕教授，主持人为我院陶毅副教授。
本次报告诸葛燕教授从住宅建筑用胶粉混凝土(CRC)、饮用水处理污泥在混凝土中的再利用、作为内衬材料的延性水泥砂浆纤维、增强工程水泥基复合材料(ECC)柱约束等四个方面详细的介绍了 “可持续混凝土”的新进展。
会议开始后，诸葛教授通过研究背景介绍，让同学们了解到在澳大利亚，每年有5600多万辆EPUs轮胎使用寿命结束。只有10%在当地回收、27%出口、63%没有回收。最后利用不可生物降解的方法进行废物处理，造成了严重的环境问题。
就此问题，诸葛教授和她的团队通过研究把用过的轮胎橡胶作为混凝土粗骨料或细骨料的替代品。
诸葛教授从CRC的机械性能，CRC的应力-应变行为，复合CRC板的粘结性能，轻质泡沫橡胶混凝土(LFRC)等层面反映出住宅建筑用胶粉混凝土（CRC）的独特之处。同时从教授的讲解中我们可以看出：汽车轮胎作为可持续材料，澳大利亚每年大约有168万吨废旧轮胎将被回收利用，减少了轮胎使用寿命带来的污染，也减少天然砂的使用。
诸葛燕教授报告图文并茂，思路清晰，同时还给大家介绍了一些关于出国留学的相关知识，深受听课人员的欢迎。与会人员对报告内容进行了热烈的讨论，诸葛燕教授也热情地回答了老师和同学们的提问。整个讲座过程中，诸葛燕教授严谨的治学态度以及认真踏实的工作作风给大家留下了极其深刻的印象，同学们纷纷表示收获很大，讲座在雷鸣般的掌声中圆满结束。
