research, which will necessarily have to overcome various challenges in the near future, both in academia and in industry.<\/p>\n<p>This is a continuation of the series of Ibero-American congresses that began in Valencia in 2008, followed by editions in Guimar\u00e3es, Madrid, Porto and Valencia again, which were interrupted by the untimely pandemic. <u>We are currently experiencing new

the National Engineering Laboratory (LNEC), the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) and the University of Cadiz (UCA), will take place on September 18 and 19, 2025, in the historic coastal city of Faro, Algarve, Portugal, at the Higher Institute of Engineering of the University of the Algarve.<\/p>\n<p>The official languages of HACBAC2025 will be Portuguese, Spanish and

It was a decision based on the tendency for many special concretes to be considered self-compacting and the reality that many of us work on other types of special concretes. As one of the aims of the congress is to facilitate mutual knowledge and generate synergies between our groups, it seemed logical that broadening the theme would be a good idea.<\/p><p>After its success, the pandemic made it difficult to develop new editions. But today we are once again detecting an interest in new challenges, which is why we are proposing the 6th edition, which on this occasion we suggest will focus on the theme of \u201csustainability\u201d in concrete. This is a very topical subject that will have to overcome many challenges in the near future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ea5598d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ea5598d\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"Contacts\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-289acf4\" data-id=\"289acf4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1b6e42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d1b6e42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Contact<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed1ee02 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"ed1ee02\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac27fb2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ac27fb2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Do you have any questions?
