It is my great pleasure to invite you to Croatia on the 8th Central European Congress on Concrete
Engineering “Durability of Concrete
Structures” on Plitvice Lakes, from 4th to 6th of October
2012.
Concrete structures were traditionally viewed
as being maintenance-free with a practically unlimited life. However,
over the past several decades, a number of durability-related problems
have emerged and stimulated research into the key factors relating to
durability of concrete structures globally. It is now generally accepted
that the concrete structures deteriorate with time. In fact,
deterioration of concrete structures has been a major and growing
world-wide problem.
This congress will provide a unique
opportunity for researchers, engineers, consultants, owners, and
concrete manufacturers to exchange the up-to-date knowledge on
durability of concrete structures.
I am looking forward to
welcome you in Croatian first National Park with
breathtaking natural beauty of Plitvice Lakes.
