Iran to Hold 22nd Int’l IPCC Expo
The IPCC will be held at the Tehran Permanent International Fairgrounds from November 30 to December 03 to present the latest products and services of over 260 domestic and foreign companies active in the field of paint and related industries.
Chemical industry companies, paint, adhesive, and resin manufacturers, as well as companies active in the electroplating industry will also participate in the IPCC 2022 which is Iran’s most prestigious event in the paint and coating industries.
Considering the Islamic Republic’s recent housing development plans and efforts by researchers in this field, the construction industry in the country is booming, and holding such exhibitions will be a long stride in meeting the sector’s needs.
In a relevant development, a group of Iranian engineers from the Southwestern city of Jahrom designed two kinds of concrete, including smart concrete and textile-reinforced concrete (TRC).
Mohsen Sahraeian, who heads a team of engineers in Jahrom, in the Southern Iranian province of Fars, said that they have founded a technical company which has carried out different road construction, water canals, dam construction etc. over the past 15 years.
Sahraeian said that the name of their company is “Marsus”.
Regarding the smart concrete project, the head of the technical group said, "In the smart concrete project, considering the acceptable progress we have made so far, we hope to achieve desired results next year.”
"We put and bury specially designed sensors in sensitive and critical parts of the building structure in order to have online control of concrete strength through the connection to the designed software, which, God willing, in case of success, we will be able to assess the resistance status of the structure online and in time and If necessary, we will rehabilitate or at least evacuate the residents and prevent tragic incidents such as the recent Metropole incident (Metropole building collapse in Abadan city),” he added.
Sahraeian also said about the textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) his research team decided to produce that type of concrete as well despite the fact that the country is under oppressive sanctions and lack of know-how knowledge and samples .
“We imported fabric concrete samples from England; We are currently in the phase of research, making prototypes and laboratory work,” he added.
