Background
A professional in strengthening and repair of construction needs a comprehensive knowledge of: the materials used (masonry, adobe, timber, steel, concrete and others); the geometric properties of the structures; the available diagnostic techniques for determining the physical and mechanical properties of the materials; the behaviour of the structural elements and the strengthening and repair techniques available for the different types of constructions. The advances in knowledge, over the last years, has shown an substantial appeal from the players in the construction industries and the surge of new materials and construction techniques. Recent statistics show a considerable growth in the investment on the strengthening and repair sector.
CINPAR 2008 is an opportunity to acquire knowledge on new materials, techniques and technologies, and to exchange personal experiences in the strengthening and repair of structures.
Objectives
- Present and discuss the diagnostic techniques and material characterization;
- Present and discuss frequent construction defects;
- Identify and analyse the main causes of anomalies, knowing this is crucial for a successful repair;
- Present materials used to repair and strengthen existing structures;
- Present and discuss techniques to repair and strengthen existing structures;
- Promote the interaction and sharing of knowledge between different professionals working in this field.
- Discuss future directions of the research into the repair of structures
