On the final day of the conference "Applicationof Unstructured Grid Model to Tsunami WavePropagation and Inundation Covering a WideRange of Spatial Resolution" was presented byProf. Jun Sasaki, Department of Civil EngineeringYokohama National University, it was concludedby mentioning the advantages of open sourceunstructured models such as flexible and accuraterepresentation of complex geometry, Capable ofcovering wide range of spatial scale on one gridsystem and efficient MPI parallel computing onclusters and parallel supercomputers.The next key note speaker was Prof Shan Huang,Professor at Department of Naval Architectureand Marine Engineering, University ofStrathclyde, Glasgow, UK. His outstandingspeech was about "Marine Riser for DeepwaterOffshore Engineering" and it was concluded thata number of old and new fluid/line structuresinteraction problems in the context of deepwaterrisers and these problems have not beenunderstood and to understand them we must, asthe deepwater E&P can be risky."Durable concrete for Sustainable developmentin marine structures" was delivered by Prof. AliAkbar Ramezanianpour, Prof. at ConcreteTechnology and Durability Research Center ofAmirkabir University. In this presentation the roleof cement and concrete in sustainabledevelopment is discussed. The use of bio-fuelsand alternative raw materials can reduce the CO2emission in cement production. Supplementarycementing materials are new widely used formaking durable concretes and reducing the CO2emission. Deterioration of concrete structures inmarine environments is discussed. Considering theenvironmental loads in the design of durable concrete structures is an important issue. Finallya proposed service life prediction model for durability design of marine concrete structures ispresented.
