The Construction Sector Is Increasingly Focused On RepairAs concrete structures are maintained longer for both environmental and financial reasons, the diagnosis, design, and selection of products, and repair work all depend on the individual condition of the buildings and require specialist knowledge from everyone involved. Concrete Repair to EN 1


Michael Raupach is chair of the Institute for Building Materials (ibac), Repair and Conservation of Buildings at RWTH Aachen University, and is actively engaged in diagnosis and design with the consulting engineers Raupach Bruns Wolff. He has been active as the German delegate in the preparation of the European Standard EN 1504, which is the actual basis for concrete repair works, not only in Europe but also in other countries. He has published more than 500 papers and made several contributions to books in corrosion, repair, and maintenance of buildings.

Till Buttner was a research assistant at the Institute of Building Materials (ibac) and is now working at the construction company Eurovia Beton in Troisdorf, Germany, in the field of concrete repair. He wrote his PhD thesis on the lifetime prediction of polymer-modified glass reinforcement of concrete and is active in the field of on-site diagnosis, evaluation of the status of concrete structures, as well as developing concepts for the repair and maintenance of concrete structures.
