This book gathers contributions presented at the 7th International Conference on Concrete Repair, Rehabilitation and Retrofitting (ICCRRR), held in Cape Town, South Africa, on November 4–6, 2024.

This book gathers contributions presented at the 7th International Conference on Concrete Repair, Rehabilitation and Retrofitting (ICCRRR), held in Cape Town, South Africa, on November 4–6, 2024. The conference aims at sharing 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. The contributions, which were selected through a rigorous international peer-review process, share exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster new multidisciplinary collaborations.

This open access book provides the latest fundamental and practical advances in reducing the built environment’s carbon footprint based on a collection of papers presented at the 2nd International Conference on Net-Zero Civil Infrastructures: Innovations in Materials, Structures, and Management Practices (Net-Zero Future 2025), held at Cape Town, South Africa, November 2025. This book presents research investigations and case studies spanning five interrelated domains: New materials and material preparation processes for zero (or negative) carbon footprint, Robotic construction technologies for minimum formwork and on-site activities, Novel structural designs and details for optimal performance with the least material usage, Advanced condition assessment and health monitoring methods for the longest service life, and Innovative life-cycle analysis and policy-making strategies for effective civil infrastructure management.

This book gathers peer-reviewed contributions presented at the 5th International Conference on Calcined Clays for Sustainable Concrete (ICCCSC), held in Cape Town, South Africa, on February 4–6, 2026. Focusing on sustainable concrete technologies and applications, this book highlights the latest findings in this fast-growing field, addressing topics such as low-carbon cement production, performance evaluation, LC2 and LC3 technology, environmental efficiency, production and quality control, fresh and hardened concrete properties, service life modelling.

This work gives an overview of significant research from recent years concerning performance-based design and quality control for concrete durability and its implementation. In engineering practice, performance approaches are often still used in combination with prescriptive requirements. This is largely because, for most durability test methods, sufficient practical experience still has to be gained before engineers and owners are prepared to fully rely on them.This book, compiled by RILEM TC 230-PSC, is intended to assist efforts to successfully build the foundation for the full implementation of performance-based approaches through the exchange of relevant knowledge and experience between researchers and practitioners worldwide.
