The ICDCS 2025 is the eighth in the ICDCS conference series. The first International Conference on the Durability of Concrete Structures (ICDCS 2008) was held at Zhejiang University, China; the second (ICDCS 2010) at Hokkaido University, Japan; the third (ICDCS 2012) at Queen’s University Belfast, UK; the fourth (ICDCS 2014) at Purdue University, USA; the fifth (ICDCS 2016) at Shenzhen University, China; the sixth (ICDCS 2018) at the University of Leeds, UK; and the seventh in the series (ICDCS 2022) at the University of Jinan, China, in 2022.
