Capacity assessment of corroded reinforced concrete structures: from research to daily engineering evaluation.

Capacity assessment of corroded reinforced concrete structures: from research to daily engineering evaluation.

The CACRCS DAYS 2025 5th edition will focus on practical engineering applications achieved through consolidated research on corroded reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures. The workshop will cover a range of topics, starting with the definition of corrosion damage indicators and analysis of material characteristics, moving on to the evaluation of the structural behaviour of corroded members, and concluding with the prediction of the remaining service life of corroded structures and intervention strategies. Case studies on the assessment of deteriorated structures are of particular interest.

Since 2019, the Workshop has attracted participation from experts in the capacity assessment of corroded reinforced concrete structures. The workshop is open to young researchers, experts, and practitioners.

During the CACRCS DAYS, professional engineers will have the opportunity to connect with a community of experts who can assist in practical problem-solving and decisionmaking procedures for the assessment, interventions and maintenance of existing structures.
Additionally, a Round Table discussion will be scheduled to stimulate debate on the analysis of available codes and guidelines for the evaluation of deteriorating existing structures affected by corrosion, as well as identify gaps and future research areas based on the contributions submitted to this workshop.
