Research stay of Karel Van Den Hende at Politecnico di Milano

From the 25th of September until the 5th of November, Karel Van Den Hende has been on a research stay abroad. Karel was hosted by the Politecnico di Milano to establish a collaboration between the research of Prof. Robby Caspeele (UGent) and Prof. Fabio Biondini (Polimi). The research involves the structural assessment of corroding prestressed concrete elements and the in-depth modelling of chloride ingress in 1D or 2D situations with or without repair. This research stay was made possible by the funding of FWO in the context of the lifeMACS project.
