PhD opportunity at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in the Department of Structural Engineering, Trondheim, Norway. This PhD project sits in NTNU’s Concrete group and focuses on concrete durability, specifically alkali-silica reaction (ASR). The research investigates how alkalis are released from aggregates, how calcium availability affects this release, and how alkali binding in cement paste with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) can moderate ASR damage. The p...
