Selected Papers from the REHABEND 2024 Congress

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing importance of refurbishing, rehabilitating, and conserving existing buildings and infrastructure, especially historical heritage, has highlighted the necessity of establishing effective methods for analyzing, planning, and implementing construction rehabilitation measures as well as maintenance and management strategies. As the world grapples with the preservation and sustainable use of architectural heritage, the 10th Edition of the REHABEND Congress (REHABEND 2024, https://www.rehabend.unican.es) emerges as a suitable platform. Its primary objective is to facilitate knowledge exchange among experts from different countries who are deeply involved in these crucial topics.

The REHABEND Congress on 'Construction Pathology, Rehabilitation Technology, and Heritage Management' will delve into the remarkable progress achieved in recent years in the theoretical and experimental realms of these subjects. As a testament to this advancement, this volume will feature a curated selection of the finest papers presented at the REHABEND 2024 conference.
