Rehabilitation and Strengthening Techniques for Reinforced Concrete

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce a topic of MDPI focused on Rehabilitation and Strengthening Techniques for Reinforced Concrete. Reinforced concrete structures, while durable, are susceptible to deterioration over time due to various factors such as aging, environmental exposure, and overloading. This topic aims to gather innovative research and practical applications that address these challenges. We invite submissions on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following:

• Material and structural assessment of deteriorating reinforced concrete elements;
• Advanced repair techniques using novel materials and methods;
• Strengthening strategies for improving the load-carrying capacity and durability of existing structures;
• Seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete buildings;
• Durability enhancement through protective coatings and treatments;
• Life-cycle assessment of rehabilitation and strengthening interventions.

By bringing together the expertise of researchers, engineers, and practitioners from around the world, we aim to promote the development of sustainable and effective solutions for the rehabilitation and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
