Abstract (EN): In this paper, a discussion will be made regarding the procedures to be followed for the quality control of the strengthening and rehabilitation of concrete structures using carbon fibre/epoxy composites. Bearing in mind the different relevant parameters, which may consider short and long ¿ term behaviour of the application of these materials, the procedure will give information concerning: specifications/quality assurance; quality control of the reinforcement system; quality control of the adhesive; quality control of the surface; monitoring The work presented follows research work carried out in Portugal, together with collected and treated information from material suppliers.
