Social and industrial challenges call for
technical solutions that substantially improves
product performance, sustainability,
andproductivity. The research consortium will
focus its work in four areas that interact and
influence each other but with the overall aim to
form a basis for innovation within cementing
materials, aggregates, concrete composition,
alternative reinforcement materials, construction
techniques, and design. The four task areas are
described in the sections below.
Focus Areas

• 1) Advanced Cementing Materials
• and Admixtures
• Reduced CO2 emissions and energy consumption
• High tensile strength
• High flammability and stability
• Low permeability
• 2) Improved Constructions Techniques
• Tailboring production properties
• Efficient reinforcement- and form systems
• Robust Self Compacting Concrete

• 3) Improved Constructions Techniques
• Composite Structures
• Ultra light Concrete in sandwich elements
• Optimal reinforcement with fibres
• Fibre reinforced composites
• 4) Multifunctional Design
• Service life design
• Better indoor climate
• Emergency Efficiency
• Aesthetics and concrete
• Intelligent materials systems
