International Conference in Reykjavik

RHEO Iceland 2009

The 3rd RILEM International Symposium on Rheology of Cement Suspensions was held within the “Week of Rheology” from the 19th to the 21st of August at the Grand Hotel, Reykjavik, Iceland. The event was devoted to the memory of late Prof. G. H. Tattersall, a physicist who broke new ground in the rheology of fresh concrete. Bounded with the 18th Nordic Rheology Conference on Suspension and Emulsions, it hosted 132 participants from 22 countries.

Olafur H. Wallevik (Iceland), professor at Reykjavik University, head of the ICI Rheocenter and the conference host, started the first talk showing...
