Following the successful 1st

International Conference on Concrete

Repair, Rehabilitation and Retrofitting

(ICCRRR 2005), ICCRRR 2008 will

again be held in Cape Town, South

Africa – arguably one of the most beautiful

places in the world. South Africa's current

construction boom, its breathtaking nature,

cultural diversity and friendly hospitality makes

it a place well worth visiting for engineers and

their guests. The conference will be organized

and co-chaired by the University of Cape Town

and the University of the Witwatersrand (South

Africa) in conjunction with the University of

Leipzig / MFPA Leipzig (Germany).

AIMS OF CONFERENCE

ICCRRR 2008 will focus on the 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 fields of concrete

repair, rehabilitation and retrofitting, as well as concrete

durability and structural performance remain some of the

most important for today's infrastructure. To master the

challenges arising from this it is important to remain

updated on recent developments in material technology

and construction methods, as well as design,

specifications and guidelines, and service life prediction

models for both new and repaired/rehabilitated structures.

ICCRRR is intended to bring together practising

engineers, scientists, specifiers, researchers and others

from around the world to share knowledge and

experience on current developments in concrete repair,

rehabilitation and retrofitting, as well as structural

performance and material durability.
