Fresh concrete and mortar mixing, including characterization of constituents (sieve analysis, laser diffraction, XRD/XRF), consistency of fresh mix (slump, flow, fresh density, air content, slump-flow, V-funnel, rheometer, etc.) and sample preparation (moulds, finishing equipment, core drilling facilities, etc.)
Characterization of hydration processes, binding (TAM Air calorimetry, (Semi-)adiabatic heat of hydration determination, Vicat (mechanical and ultrasonic), etc.) and shrinkage under various environmental conditions (temperature, relative humidity)
Determination of mechanical properties (compressive, flexural and tensile testing, E-modulus, CTE)
Determination of durability related properties (chloride migration, chloride profiling, carbonation, frost-thaw resistance, ASR, etc.)
Characterization of micro-structure (SEM analysis, water absorption, N2 adsorption, UPV, porosimetry)
Various non-destructive testing equipment: rebar detection, ultrasonic pulse velocity, radar and ultrasonic shear wave tomography, corrosion analysis (resistivity, Epot), IR-thermography, water content and water permeability, air permeability, etc.
