The European Association for Concrete Repair, Reinforcement and Protection (ACRP) highlights the recent release of the 2024–2025 RILEM Technical Report, a key reference compiling the latest developments from the past year within the Technical Committees (TCs) of this internationally recognized organization dedicated to research and innovation in construction materials. The full report is available on RILEM’s official website.
This seventh edition offers a comprehensive overview of the work being carried out in the field of concrete and cementitious materials, with a particular focus on durability, structural rehabilitation, and sustainability. The report features a summary of the main activities conducted by active technical committees, as well as the presentation of newly established working groups.
It also provides detailed explanations of how RILEM technical committees operate, how their scientific and technical deliverables are developed, and the impact these outputs have on standardization and professional practice worldwide. In addition, it includes interviews with industry experts, emerging technical guidelines, and a summary of key events organized within the RILEM framework over the past year.
At ACRP, we view this report as an essential resource for professionals involved in concrete rehabilitation. It allows readers to identify emerging trends, innovative approaches, and research outcomes with direct application in the design and implementation of structural reinforcement and protection projects. It also offers a valuable opportunity to stay informed about the scientific and technical work currently shaping our sector at both the European and international levels.
We strongly encourage our members, practitioners, and researchers committed to advancing the quality and durability of concrete to review this document and explore how engagement with the technical committees can offer a meaningful path to contributing to best practices and knowledge development.
