Research Overview

Cementitious materials play a crucial role in modern construction. However, their degradation due to corrosion poses significant challenges to the durability of our civil infrastructures. The proposed PhD project aims to investigate the fundamental aspects of moisture transport in carbonated cementitious materials.

The research will involve both experimental and numerical approaches. Experimental techniques will be applied to characterize the microstructure and moisture transport properties of carbonated and non-carbonated cementitious materials. Numerical models will be developed and validated using experimental data to simulate moisture transport phenomena.

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to contribute to a vibrant research environment and collaborate with experts in the field. They will also have access to state-of-the-art experimental facilities and computational resources.
