Performance Based Rehabilitation of Reinforced
Concrete Structures - CONREPNET Members Workshop
On behalf of Thematic Network CON REP NET and BRE we have a pleasure to invite you to the 6th and the final Members Workshop on PERFORMANCE BASED REHABILITATION OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES at the Building Research Establishment Ltd, in Watford near London. Learn about the outcomes you have contributed to and discuss your ideas.
CON REP NET is a four year project aiming to improve performance of intervention works of reinforced concrete structures. The project has studied durability issues and analysed problems in achieving it through gathering information and case studies throughout European concrete repair history until today. Throughout the project performance issues have been studied looking from different aspects and taken into account viewpoints of different stakeholders of the supply chain. On the basis of gathered and analysed information a proposal for the vision for the use of performance based concepts in future has been developed.
During last years the Network has prepared a range of technical deliverables on past, current and future practices with a valuable contribution of network Members. These reports and other results of the Network are now in their final drafting phase. An object has been that the achieved results could serve as well owners of structures as industrial partners, consultants and researchers. All Members are invited to give their contributions to the event, hear about the final results of the Network and join the discussion on performance concepts and future development needs.
The Workshop is divided into two days. The first day will focus on presentations and discussions on the main results of the project. The first morning session will review results of earlier reports and latest Members Workshop. The second session will focus on introduction of results related to development of performance concepts. During the afternoon sessions members reflections will be given by invited member presentations and the last session of the day is reserved for parallel discussion groups. Your contribution for this will be desired.
The second day is open for Members' presentations covering wider range of concrete repair topics. A special guest from USA will describe current developments in the concrete repair industry in the USA. A representative from the European Commission will be present and speak about the latest news concerning construction sector. Additionally several speakers from South, Middle and Northern Europe will widen the perspective on different concrete repair topics on their special field.
SPEAKERS
Presentations will be given by members of TN CON REP NET or by invited special guests.
