Durability of Reinforced concrete from Composition to Protection

Submitted by shavijabranko on Mon, 03/18/2013 - 09:59

The 6th International PhD Student Workshop on Durability of Reinforced
Concrete will be held in Delft, The Netherlands, during July 4 and 5,
2013, hosted by TUDelft. After a series of successful workshops, most
recently in Espoo (2012), Madrid (2010) and Guimarães (2009), IPSW2013
will be held under the auspices of RILEM EAC (Educational Activities
Committee), aiming to bring together young researchers in the field of
durability of concrete.

This workshop, aimed at PhD students dealing with concrete durability (in a broad sense), is free of charge.

Hi all,

In the course of our project, we are monitoring the corrosion behavior of steel reinforcement in cracked concrete, while exposed to simulated sea water. Recent results are posted on our blog, http://microlab-m3c4.blogspot.nl/ ! Be sure to check them out! For more information, you can contact us, or follow us on twitter @MicrolabM3C4.

Cheers!
