Rehabilitation and Strengthening Techniques for Reinforced Concrete

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.
