Our research in this area includes

• modelling of long-term deterioration processes in reinforced concrete, eg predictions of chloride diffusion, corrosion initiation, corrosion propagation rate, structural behaviour and residual strength of corroding reinforced concrete structures
• development of expert systems for bridge management and for building maintenance leading to cost effective, low risk solutions
• expert advice on repair and maintenance of infrastructures
• independent investigations of PFI assets
