Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The theme of building pathology and rehabilitation holds profound importance in today's context of sustainable infrastructure development. As the demand for resilient buildings surges, the significance of enhancing our understanding and practices regarding building pathology and repair cannot be overstated. With the construction sector accounting for nearly half of all raw material consumption and energy usage, it is imperative that we adopt sustainable methodologies.
In light of this, the XX International Conference on Building Pathology and Constructions Repair (CINPAR 2024), taking place from May 29th to 31st, 2024, in the city of Fortaleza, Brazil, serves as a catalyst for innovation and collaboration in addressing the challenges faced by the built environment.
Dedicated to exploring the multifaceted aspects of building pathology and construction repair, CINPAR 2024 is a global platform for researchers, academics, industry professionals, and policymakers to exchange insights, innovations, and best practices.
Selected papers from CINPAR 2024 will be featured in a Special Issue of the journal Buildings, entitled titled "Selected Papers from the 20th International Conference on Building Pathology and Constructions Repair (CINPAR 2024)". This Special Issue will showcase the latest research and advancements presented at the conference, fostering continued progress in building pathology and construction repair.
CINPAR 2024 promises to be a landmark event in the field of building pathology and construction repair, providing a forum for interdisciplinary dialogue, collaboration, and innovation. Join us as we explore sustainable solutions for resilient infrastructure and chart a course towards a safer, more resilient built environment for future generations.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and shaping the future of building pathology and construction repair through this Special Issue.
