St Louis, MO
61st Cement Industry
Technical Conference

61st IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Industry Technical Conference

Welcome to

Welcome to the 61st Annual IEEE IAS / PCA

Cement Industry Technical Conference. We
meet once again at the Gateway to the West
in view of the magnificent St. Louis Arch and the Mississippi River. This ideal
conference location is conveniently located within reach of some of the most
modern cement plants in North America.

For those of you who are conference veterans, you will note that the venue
and conference hotel are repeats of the 2011 conference. The Downtown
Marriott hotel has undergone a complete facelift with a new lobby layout, and
fully renovated rooms. All of the conference proceedings will take place in
the America’s Center located just across the street from the hotel. This venue
offers us the combination of generous meeting space, inviting ballroom and
reception areas, exhibit hall and interactive signs to keep us informed of “what
is happening where” on a real-time basis.

For those attending the conference for the first time, we are providing a brief
tutorial to provide an overview of the conference, its purpose and history, and
some direction on how to navigate the various offerings.

As the conference continues to evolve to meet our ever-changing industry

needs, we strive to offer the best value available by meeting the needs of our
diverse audience. From tutorials to technical papers, and panel discussions
to professional development sessions, you will be able to take advantage of
multiple delivery platforms for technical information exchange.

This year, as in 2011, LafargeHolcim has generously offered their Ste.

Genevieve plant to be our Thursday tour site. We believe that seeing the
2
plant again after 8 years of operation, with its many implemented continuous
improvement and optimization efforts, is a rare treat.

Every year industry volunteers, most of whom have at least one full time job,
organize this conference. This group of extraordinary dedicated men and
women spend many hours working hard to ensure a successful conference.
The conference technical content is developed, and carefully vetted by the
CIC Working Groups and the PCA. The Local Organizing Committee directs
the conference logistics with the support of Event Management Professionals,
Audio Visual Experts and Exhibition Services. Once again, during the last
weeks of the 18-month planning process, the combined efforts have come
together seamlessly.

Loyal vendor support continues to be the key to this Conference’s success,

please take the opportunity to seek out our 160+ supplier partners in the
exhibit hall. The Exhibition will host a cocktail reception on Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday evening, and once again, lunch is provided among the exhibits on
Monday and Tuesday.

We expect that this year’s conference will exceed your expectations and we
wish you another wonderful Cement Conference experience. Thank you for
joining us!

Sincerely,

Corinne Fields
Local Organizing Committee Chair.

 PCA EDUCATION FOUNDATION
The support provided by the Education Foundation is used to identify and
attract outstanding candidates in the field of engineering and the physical
sciences and provide them with the necessary support to complete their
studies. Additionally, this support is intended to provide them an opportunity
for productive work in the cement and concrete industries.
The fellowships are open to any U.S. student completing studies toward a
masters or doctoral degree from an institution of higher education within
the United States that is accredited by a regional or national agency. The
applicant must pursue graduate study in an engineering, science, material
science, or architectural program. Each fellowship includes a $35,000
stipend paid to the university to cover tuition, residence, research materials,
equipment, study materials, related educational expenses, and does not
include payment for institutional overhead.
For this current fellowship competition, proposals in the following subject
areas, with no priority, are of interest:
• Cement Manufacturing
• Concrete Technology
• Residential
• Paving
• Engineered Buildings
Innovative projects in other areas of cement and concrete technology will also
be considered.
A university professor and the candidate student must jointly submit
applications. Applications must be received by February 15. Please follow the
proposal format when submitting a proposal in this competition. The proposal
should not exceed four pages in length using 12 point Times New Roman font.
See PCA Research Fellowship Program Format for additional information.
PCA committee members review and endorse nominations for support. The
PCA Education Foundation Board of Directors makes the final determination
regarding the selection of each fellowship. Final award determinations are
tentatively scheduled not later than June with award notifications immediately
thereafter.
Submittals with detailed descriptions of the proposed project should be sent
via e-mail to:
Richard Bohan, P.E.
Senior Director, Research and Technology Portland Cement Association
5420 Old Orchard Road
Skokie, IL 60077-1083

 PCA EDUCATION FOUNDATION
The Portland Cement Association Education Foundation funds a wide variety
of educational activities that will increase public knowledge regarding
appropriate uses of cement and concrete. Within that global purpose is a
specific purpose to:
Advance general scientific understanding of cement and concrete by
providing scholarships, fellowships, grants, and other support for the study
of engineering and the physical sciences relating to the production and use
of cement and concrete.
