Due to the environment action, accidental overloads, alterations in the use or layout, and ingress of water and other harmful substances, rehabilitation is almost always necessary during the service life of a constructed facility. As our infrastructure gets older and the demand on existing structures increases, rehabilitation often overtakes new construction in the priorities of users and engineers. Further, the restoration of heritage and historic structures requires the amalgamation of archeology, materials science and engineering to achieve the desired results. This conference will provide a forum for researchers, practicing engineers, material and systems suppliers, applicators and analysts working in these areas to exchange ideas and to network.
