Overview

Another part of the Building Materials research at Lund University is material-specific. The latter applies mainly to concrete and masonry.

Features

Within the field of concrete, materials are also studied from a holistic perspective including assessment of production technology, construction technology and building physics issues.

Programme Structure

Research Topics:

studies of the physical and chemical structure of building materials;

studies of the interactions between the materials’ structure and their physical and chemical properties;

studies of biological phenomena related to buildings and constructions;

studies of transport processes in materials; transportation of gas/steam, fluids and ions, also related to transportation;

studies of the deterioration and life span of building materials, and the development of quantitative life span models;

studies of the function of combinations of materials, for example finishes or repair layers;
