Imperial Consultants

Their research aims to develop more effective methods for the design, life assessment and repair of concrete structures and is usually based on establishing a better understanding of deterioration processes.

The lab's capabilities include:

• Simulated/accelerated environmental exposure
• Assessment and monitoring of corrosion and concrete deterioration
• Measurement of the pore structure and mass transport properties of concrete
• Computational modelling of transport and deterioration
• Compositional analysis of cement and concrete using x-ray spectrometry
• Advanced micro-structural imaging, image analysis and 3D visualisation
