Durability Workshop, Guimaraes, Portugal
fib and the University of Minho will hold seminar on the durability of concrete structures on 8 May 2014 in Guimaraes, Portugal. Durability is a key component in the sustainability of concrete structures and serves a vital role in the design, construction and rehabilitation of these structures. This first of its kind seminar will provide unique access to the experts and work of fib Commission 5, “Structural service life aspects”, along with topics from these experts’ individual research and work applying durability principles to practice. Several distinguished local speakers will also participate and provide their insight into the local industry.
