The ICCRRR is organized jointly by the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Cape Town and Karlsruhe institute of Technology in Germany. The international cooperation has always been the basis for the global success of the ICCRRR and we are delighted to be continuing in this tradition.
The ICCRRR is intended to bring together researchers, practicing engineers, infrastructure managers, concrete technologists, students, and the supporting industry from around the world to share knowledge and experience on current developments in concrete technology, durability design and service life management, condition assessment of concrete structures, and concrete repair, rehabilitation and retrofitting.
