The Training School TS3: Durability and service life of concrete structures in aggressive environments, will take place between the next 23-25 of May, in the frame of the ITN MSC-SMARTINCS: Self-healing-Multifunctional Advanced Repair Technologies in Cementitious Systems.

Topics involved

Reinforced & concrete degradations as a direct consequence of ageing and reduction resistance to environmental impacts: Approach the different aggressive scenarios to which concrete structures are exposed, the consequences due to material damage degradation, and the loss of properties
Extension of the service life of concrete structures: a major challenge to attempt to cut the maintenance cost: the loss of structural reliability and in consequence the service life questioned. How to evaluate and assess the damage in laboratory and on-site
New functionalities (self-healing, self-sensing): Analyses of contribution to enhancing and assessing the performance in aggressive environments.
