Lecture

Concrete Performance

Description

This lecture delves into the importance of understanding concrete performance and durability to prevent tragedies, as concrete is a porous material that can exchange water, gases, and ions with its environment, affecting its properties. The course aims to explain the fundamentals of these mechanisms and how to study them, serving as a doctorate school to kickstart research on sorption and transport in cementitious materials.

In MOOC
