The research topics of the expert centre include:
- Seawater affected concrete structure’s long-term durability
- Models for chloride binding
- The influence of casting defects as well as unavoidable structural weaknesses on long-term durability
- Influence of rheology and casting method on durability of structures cast with SCC
- The influence of micro defects on durability
- Chloride threshold values for initiation of corrosion and corrosion rates in the propagation phase. Influence of binder system and environmental conditions.
- Models for cracks, including understanding damage formation in and through the interface between reinforcement and concrete.
- Numerical service life models based on chloride driven reinforcement corrosion and later expanded to other degradation mechanisms.
