Concrete without Portland cement v. Marvin Glißner COWI/DTU Investigation of material properties with a focus on real structural applications. Adaption of new materials on a large scale by the construction industry is generally not an easy task as materials and designs have to meet high European and national standards. The main reason in hesitation with new materials is consequently a lack of sufficient knowledge about material properties and if standard procedures can be applied to ensure a safe structure. The objective of this project is to study relevant material properties of a selected range of cement free concrete materials and to obtain a deeper understanding of their short- and long-term material behaviour. By combining experimental and numerical investigations at different scales, the project seeks to link the material properties to the expected structural behaviour thereby identifying suitable design models. Samt Bundaske fra biomasseforbrænding som erstatning til sand i beton v. Anders Hedegaard Jensen COWI/DTU Erhvervs-PhD projekt med fokus på at erstatte en del af den naturlige sand i betonprodukter med affaldsprodukter fra forbrænding i det danske energisystem. I modsætning til den mere udbredte forskning i cement-erstatning, fokuserer COWI og DTU på et hidtil overset bæredygtighedselement inden for betonproduktion.
