Proceedings pro111 : International RILEM Conference Materials Systems and Structures in Civil Engineering 2016 (MSSCE 2016) on Electrochemistry in Civil Engineering

This volume contains the proceedings of the MSSCE 2016 conference segment on “Electrochemistry in Civil Engineering”. Electrochemistry is important to different branches within civil engineering, including both the unintended electrochemical reactions as reinforcement corrosion and the intended reactions driving electro-desalination of construction materials. The proceedings emphasizes the application of electrochemistry to technological development as well as testing and fundamental understanding within the interdisciplinary area between electrochemistry and civil engineering.

The various topics of the proceedings are within reinforcement corrosion (Corrosion mechanisms and propagation, modelling of service life, and corrosion prevention), electrochemical assessment methods (in both construction and geotechnical materials), electrochemical repair techniques (stopping corrosion, crack closure and desalination for heritage conservation) and electrochemical upgrading of waste for use in construction materials (concrete or ceramics). All contributions have been peer reviewed.

The event “Materials, Systems and Structures in Civil Engineering 2016”, 15-29 August 2016, Lyngby, Denmark, is scientifically sponsored by RILEM. The event is hosted by the Department of Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark and is financially sponsored by a number of independent foundations and organizations.
