The Second International Conference on Concrete Repair,
Rehabilitation and Retrofitting (ICCRRR 2005) was held in Cape
Town, South Africa, from 24-26 November 2008. The Conference
followed the very successful First International Conference, also
in Cape Town in 2005, and continued as a collaborative venture by
researchers from the South African Research Programme in Concrete
Materials (based at the Universities of Cape Town and The
Witwatersrand) and The Construction Materials Sections at Leipzig
University and MFPA Leipzig in Germany. The background, in industry
and the state of national infrastructures, continues to be highly
challenging and demanding. The facts remain that much of our
concrete infrastructure deteriorates at unacceptable rates, that we
need appropriate tools and techniques to undertake the vast task of
sound repair, maintenance and rehabilitation of such
infrastructure, and that all this must be undertaken with due
cognisance of the limited budgets available for such work. New ways
need to be found to extend the useful life of concrete structures
cost-effectively. Confidence in concrete as a viable construction
material into the 21st century needs to be retained and sustained,
particularly considering the environmental challenges that the
industry and society now face. The conference proceedings contain
papers, presented at the conference, and classified into a total of
12 sub themes which can be grouped under the three main themes of
(i) Concrete durability aspects, (ii) Condition assessment of
concrete structures, and (iii) Concrete repair, rehabilitation and
retrofitting. The major interests in terms of submissions exists in
the fields of innovative materials for durable concrete
construction, integrated service life modelling of reinforced
concrete structures, NDE/NDT and measurement techniques, repair
methods and materials, and structural strengthening and
retrofitting techniques. The large number of high-quality papers
presented and the wide range of relevant topics covered confirm
that these proceedings will be a valued reference for many working
in the important fields of concrete durability and repair, and that
they will form a suitable base for discussion and provide
suggestions for future development and research. Set of book of
abstracts (476 pp) and a searchable full paper CD-ROM (1396 pp).
The Fourth International Conference on Concrete Repair,
Rehabilitation and Retrofitting (ICCRRR 2015) was held 5-7 October
2015 in Leipzig, Germany. This conference is a collaborative
venture by researchers from the South African Research Programme in
Concrete Materials (based at the Universities of Cape Town and The
Witwatersrand) and the Material Science Group at Leipzig University
and The Leipzig Institute for Materials Research and Testing (MFPA)
in Germany. ICCRRR 2015 continues to seek and to extend a sound
base of theory and practice in repair and rehabilitation, through
both theoretical andexperimental studies, and through good case
study literature. Two key aspects need to be addressed: that of
developing sound and easily applied standard practices for repair,
possibly codified, and the need to study seriously the service
performance of repaired structures and repair systems. In fact,
without making substantial efforts to implement the latter goal,
much of the effort in repair and rehabilitation may prove to be
less than economical or satisfactory. The conference proceedings
contain papers presented at the conference which can be grouped
under the six main themes of (i) Concrete durability aspects, (ii)
Condition assessment of concrete structures, (iii) Modern materials
technology, (iv) Concrete repair, rehabilitation and retrofitting,
(v) Performance and health monitoring and (vi) Education, research
and specifications. The large number of high quality papers
presented and the wide range of relevant topics covered confirm
that these proceedings will be a valued reference for many working
in this important field and that they will form a suitable base for
discussion and provide suggestions for future development and
research. Set of book of abstracts (244 pp) and a searchable full
paper CD-ROM (1054 pp).

This proceedings volume consists of papers focusing on repairing,
maintaining, rehabilitating, and retrofitting of existing
infrastructures to extend their life and maximize economic return.
Moreover, structural performance and material durability are
discussed. Contributions fall under the following headings: (i)
Concrete durability aspects, (ii) Condition assessment of concrete
structures, (iii) Modern materials technology, (iv) Concrete
repair, rehabilitation and retrofitting, (v) Performance and health
monitoring, and (vi) Education, research and specifications. Major
attention is paid to innovative materials for durable concrete
construction, integrated service life modelling of reinforced
concrete structures, NDE/NDT and measurement techniques, repair
methods and materials, and structural strengthening and
retrofitting techniques. For researchers and practitioners in
structure and infrastructure engineering. Set of book of abstracts
(546 pp) and a searchable full paper CD-ROM (1564 pp).
The First International Conference on Concrete Repair,
Rehabilitation and Retrofitting (ICCRRR 2005) was held in Cape
Town, South Africa, from 21-23 November 2005. The conference was a
collaborative venture by researchers from the South African
Research Programme in Concrete Materials (based at the Universities
of Cape Town and The Witwatersrand) and The Construction Materials
Section at Leipzig University in Germany. The conference has come
at an opportune moment for concrete construction worldwide and
sought to focus on an increasingly important aspect in modern
infrastructure provision and retention: that of appropriately
repairing, maintaining, rehabilitating, and if necessary
retrofitting existing infrastructure with a view to extending its
life and maximising its economic return. The conference Proceedings
contain papers, presented at the conference, and classified into a
total of 15 sub themes which can be grouped under the four main
themes of (i) Concrete durability aspects, (ii) Condition
assessment of concrete structures, (iii) Concrete repair,
rehabilitation and retrofitting, and (iv) Performance monitoring
and health assessment. The major interest in terms of submissions
exists in the fields of concrete durability aspects in connection
with material compositions, NDE/NDT and measurement techniques,
repair methods and materials, and structural strengthening and
retrofitting techniques. The large number of high-quality papers
presented and the wide range of relevant topics covered confirm
that these Proceedings will be a valued reference for many working
in the important fields of concrete durability and repair and that
they form a suitable base for discussion and provide suggestions
for future development and research.
