Concrete in arctic conditions WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS FROM A NORDIC WORKSHOP Trondheim – Norway, 18–19 June 2019

Abstract

PREFACE The Nordic Workshop “Concrete in arctic conditions” has been organized under the auspices of the ongoing Norwegian research project; Durable Advanced Concrete Structures (DaCS). The research project DaCS aims to increase the knowledge of sustainable and competitive reinforced concrete structures in harsh environment and is funded by The Research Council of Norway, in addition to several industrial partners. The DACS partners are Kværner AS (project owner), Axion AS (Stalite), AF Gruppen Norge AS, Concrete Structures AS, Mapei AS, Multiconsult AS, NorBetong AS, Norcem AS, NPRA (Statens vegvesen), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), SINTEF Byggforsk, Skanska Norge AS, Unicon AS and Veidekke Entreprenør AS. The workshop is devided into 2 sections: Ice abrasion and Frost resistance, which are related to the Ph.D. projects under the directive of the aforementioned project: “Experimental study of concrete-ice abrasion and concrete surface topography modification” by Guzel Shamsutdinova and “Production and documentation for frost durable concrete” by Andrei Shpak. The event is to be hosted by NTNU, Institute for materials and structures. The main goal is to increase the knowledge within ice abrasion and frost resistance of concrete and to provide exchange of information and further development among the participants. This booklet documents the collection of extended abstracts of most of the given lectures during the workshop. The organizing committee would like to thank all the speakers and contributors at the seminar, and the financial support of the research project DaCS, Mapei AS and Norbetong AS. Trondheim, June 2019.
