If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Maria Marques de Carvalho. This talk has been canceled/deleted Giacomo will talk about his research on functionally layered concrete carried out in Cambridge in collaboration with the Concrete Infrastructure Research Group (CIRG), led by Professor Janet Lees. Cement is the most CO2 intensive ingredient of concrete, so using it only where it’s strictly necessary and reducing its proportions in concrete mixes works towards reducing its negative impact on the environment. The use of cement can be significantly reduced through the innovative concept of functionally layered elements, i.e. structural components where concrete with high cement content is used rationally only when needed. Giacomo will talk about how the fresh-state behaviour of functionally layered elements can be characterized through innovative experiments and predicted through plasticity theory. In the second part of his talk, Giacomo will discuss his findings on the hardened-state behaviour of layered concrete elements, with particular focus on the bond strength at the interface between layers.
