Marios Soutsos ... The Concrete Solutions series of
International Conferences on Concrete Repair began in 2003 with a
conference held in St. Malo, France in association with INSA Rennes.
Subsequent conferences have seen us partnering with the University of
Padua in 2009 and with TU Dresden in 2011. This conference is being held
for the first time in the UK, in association with Queen’s University
Belfast and brings together delegates from 36 countries to discuss the
latest advances and technologies in concrete repair. Earlier
conferences were dominated by electrochemical repair, but there has been
an interesting shift to more unusual methods, such as bacterial repair
of concrete plus an increased focus on service life design aspects and
modelling, with debate and discussion on the best techniques and the
validity of existing methods. Repair of heritage structures is also
growing in importance and a number of the papers have focused on the
importance of getting this right, so that we may preserve our rich
cultural heritage of historic structures. This book is an
essential reference work for those working in the concrete repair field,
from Engineers to Architects and from Students to Clients.
