‍Seminar "Strengthening of concrete structures"

On Wednesday, March 20, 2024, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., FEREB in cooperation with BUILDWISE is organizing a seminar on "Strengthening of Concrete Structures."

Today, many buildings and works of art are being renovated. Often concrete damage is observed which compromises the stability of the structure or a new purpose is given to the structure which requires a greater load bearing capacity.

Given the topicality of this topic, our experts, using practical examples, will present innovative solutions and explain application possibilities with bonded reinforcements, among others.
