Introduction ‘The second International Conference on Bio-based Building Materials ICBBM) and the first International Conference on Ecological Valoristin of Granular and Fibrous materials (BeoGRAFI) were held together 3 ICBBM EcoGRAPHI 2017 on June 21-23, 2017 in Clermont-Ferrand. France, hie conference covers a ‘wide range of diverse and original subjees from around the world, Topics included natural fibers, mechanical performance, bio-durabilty of bio-based building materials, eco-tiendly binders, methodology, rammed arth, and ease studies, Over 260 participants from 40 countries atended the conference. I mse presented & ‘paper entitled “Influence of Diferent Concentration of “Tris Buffer Solution on Caleium Carbonate Precipitation in Bio-based Repair Materials 2 Overview JICDBM BeoGRAFI 2017 isan international conference having for objective the review and dfusion of current koowledge about bulding materials and civil engineering lated to granular and/or fibrous materials (soils, mineral and vegetal aggregates, demolition materials, Industrial products for onstruction). The conference is Aesigned to promote exchanges and discussions among researchers, engineers and industrialists on the elabo ration, design characterization, and performance ofthese materials, as well as experience feedback about their se. from the viewpoint of sustainable development. The conference chairs were Prof. Soiane AMZIANE and Prof Pere Breul from the Institut Pascal in Clermont Ferrand, France, and DrMoammed SONEBI, from ‘Queen's University Belfast, Beast, UK. Nearly 200 papers were submitted to ICBBM EcoGRAFI 2017, and ena va Ho 9 as e383 —$- ‘over 120 papers were presented during the five parallel sessions in addition toa further 20 papers presented Alring the poster sessions, Seven plenary sessions and 8 workshops, namely JEMAB 2017, TyCCAO, and a ‘workshop on bio-based adhesives, were held. The lace ‘ion of the conference was at the Polydome Clermont errand, an impressive venue befiting such an important event. The previous, and first. International Conference on Bio-based Building Materials also took place in (Clermont-Ferrand, on June 21-24, 2015 3.
