Projectomschrijving

DuraBUILDmaterials is a network of research teams at Ghent University, which unite expertise of more than 100 researchers on building materials and structures. As knowledge and technology transfer cluster, DBm stimulates application-oriented innovations and interdisciplinary research with and for the building sector. Starting points are new developments originating from Ghent University by thorough research into the microstructure of materials, physico-chemical modelling of deterioration phenomena, the structural behaviour of building materials and structures, as well as their sustainability and environmental impact. Indeed, the development of innovative building techniques and materials with advanced sustainability properties is highly important for a future-proof environment, for the economy and for our society.
