Our projects have been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the European Commission, DTI, NPL, CIRIA, the UK Highways Agency, BNFL, NIREX, London Underground Limited, Fosroc International and Lafarge.
Below is a selection of indicative research projects:
- Microstructure of corroded reinforced concrete
- Influence of microstructure on the transport properties of concrete (EPSRC)
- Self-sealing cracks with superabsorbent polymers
- Influence of ITZ and microcracking on transport properties
- Structural health monitoring - footbridge demonstrator project (NPL)
- Intelligent monitoring of concrete structures (DTI/CIRIA)
- Determining the water/cement ratio of hardened concrete
- Pore structure analysis using backscattered electron microscopy
- Predicting mass transport in concrete from microstructure
