Sustainable Maintenance of Concrete Structures

Serious Topics

STEM Spotlight Luxembourg introduces a new online lecture series organised by the Association of Engineers and Scientists of Luxembourg (IngSci). The first session features Prof. Numa Bertola, Assistant Professor at the University of Luxembourg, presenting on "Sustainable Maintenance of Concrete Structures". The presentation will discuss practical solutions for the sustainable management of concrete structures, such as new high-performance materials, monitoring technologies, and data-driven assessment methods. It will also cover how modern techniques help understand the performance and extend the lifespan of existing structures, and how concrete elements can be reused when demolition is unavoidable, reducing waste and environmental impact while creating economic value.
