The Concrete Solutions series of International Conferences on Concrete Repair began in 2003 with a conference held in St. Malo, France in association with INSA Rennes. Subsequent conferences have seen us partnering with the University of Padua in 2009 and with TU Dresden in 2011. This conference is being held for the first time in the UK, in association with Queen’s University Belfast and brings together delegates from 36 countries to discuss the latest advances and technologies in concrete repair. Earlier conferences were dominated by electrochemical repair, but there has been an interesting shift to more unusual methods, such as bacterial repair of concrete plus an increased focus on service life design aspects and modelling, with debate and discussion on the best techniques and the validity of existing methods. Repair of heritage structures is also growing in importance and a number of the papers have focused on the importance of getting this right, so that we may preserve our rich cultural heritage of historic structures. This book is an essential reference work for those working in the concrete repair field, from Engineers to Architects and from Students to Clients.

Climate change is anticipated to have a major impact on concrete structures through increasing rates of deterioration and the impact of extreme weather events. The repair of any damage will be highly labor-intensive and expensive. Self-healing cementitious materials can enable the construction industry to mitigate these effects and move toward greater sustainability, safety, and increased cost savings and efficiency. This book: Examines concrete structures based on various materials with self-repair capability and their implications for future use in sustainable projects. Discusses advantages and design strategies of self-healing concretes. Covers several effective and detailed self-repair methods, with comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Examines the use of various materials, including polymers and nanomaterials. Reviews factors affecting performance, properties, and applications. Delves into future directions and opportunities. Written for researchers, advanced students, and industry professionals, Self-Healing Cementitious Materials: Technologies, Evaluation Methods, and Applications offers a detailed view of an important emerging technology in materials science, civil engineering, and related fields.

"The 'International Conference on Advanced Composite Materials in Bridges and Structures', ACMBS, is now a well-established forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience in the use of advanced composites in structures. The present conference is the fifth in a series of highly successful symposia. Following the initial conference in Sherbrooke in 1992, other ACMBS conference[s] took place in Montréal (1996), Ottawa (2000) and Calgary (2004). The ACMBS series of conferences is organized under the auspices of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering." ; "Since ACMBS-1 in 1992, there has been tremendous advancement in the development and applications of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in structures throughout the world." ; "The proceedings of the ACMBS-V Conference include over 100 technical papers reporting original and high quality research and innovative applications. They provide a representative picture of the current state of knowledge on the use of FRP [composites] in structural and civil engineering applications."--Foreword.
