Performance Based Rehabilitation of Reinforced
Concrete Structures - CONREPNET Conference
On behalf of Thematic Network CONREPNET and Czech Concrete Society we have a pleasure to invite you to the second open conference on Performance Based Rehabilitation of Reinforced Concrete Structures in Prague, CZ, on 23, June, 2005.
The conference will present the first results of the Thematic Network CONREPNET, which was launched in September 2002. CONREPNET is a four years programme partly funded by EC under the FP5 Programme "Competitive and Sustainable Growth".
The scope of the conference will encompass different aspects of rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures:
- TN CONREPNET has started with studies of past and current performance and practices. These are used as baseline for outlining guidelines for future concepts of performance based rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures. Current results of these studies will be presented during the event.
- EN 1504 Standards will be explored from perspectives of consultants, material suppliers and contractors. Discussion will be raised e.g. on their limitations and advantages.
- European approaches to concrete repair and some recent advances/innovations will be presented by several European experts.
Attendance
The Conference is intended for representatives of the entire supply chain concerning maintenance and rehabilitation of concrete structures including asset owners, planners, contractors, material suppliers, consultants, repair specialists, researchers, students etc.
Date and Venue
The Conference will take place on Thursday 23 June 2005 at Masarykova kolej, Thakurova 1, Prague 6, Czech Republic.
