Project description
Sulfate attack of concrete and concrete structures is an important durability problem in practice. This project aims at a theoretical and experimental study of the durability of concrete structures in sulfate environment. The aim of the project is to develop a model for the simulation of sulfate transport and sulfate attack in concrete, and for the prediction of the service life of concrete structures in sulfate environment.
