Inert but under surveillance \u2013 Fragile concrete\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christophe Batard, Heritage Architect (2BDM Agency)

\nDiscussant: Martin Denoun (SPIRAL, Li\u00e8ge)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Long presented as an inert, solid, and durable material, concrete conveyed a promise of stability that contributed to its widespread use throughout the 20th century, but also to the decline of a culture of maintenance that was negatively associated with \u201ctraditional\u201d materials. Paradoxically, this ubiquitous material still provides limited insight into building life cycles.\u00a0As buildings age, the diversity and complexity of deterioration \u2014 carbonation, cracking, and corrosion of reinforcements \u2014 becomes apparent. These processes intertwine a multitude of parameters, including construction periods and methods, initial imperfections, maintenance defects, and exposure environment.<\/p>\n

From proclaimed inertia to material \u201cunder surveillance,\u201d the trajectories of aging and emerging forms of intervention to repair, restore, and extend the life of buildings are shaping a new field of reflection and knowledge production at the intersection of architecture and maintenance.<\/p>\n
