The program

CACRCS 2021

Capacity assessment of corroded reinforced concrete structures: from research to daily engineering evaluation

the Program 2021

Preliminary Program

Special sessions are organised during the workshop. During the submission process, Authors are invited to kindly select the session where they are willing to present their papers. Each session will include both research and engineering applications focussing on what is needed for the evaluation of corroded structures.

CACRCS DAYS 2021 includes Round tables to promote discussions.
The virtual workshop offers didactic material for engineers, practitioners, scientists, concrete technologists, researchers, and academics to improve the knowledge about corrosion of reinforced concrete structures.

TUESDAY 30 NOVEMBER

Welcome and Introduction

B. Belletti, D. Coronelli, Coordinator Event Claudio Failla, CTE President David Fernández-Ordóñez, fib Secretary General Luc Taerwe, Editor-in-Chief of Structural Concrete

Round table on pre-normative and normative documents

The participants invited will share their views on normative (codes and standards) and pre-normative (model codes, manuals, guides) documents treating the structural assessment of existing deteriorated concrete structures with special emphasis on corrosion.
