How can we quantify the remaining service life of ageing infrastructure to build predictive, climate-resilient models for the future of our cities?
We tackle this challenge in our latest peer-reviewed publication, now published in Case Studies in Construction Materials (Impact Factor: 6.5):
Key Highlights:
- First corrosion model integrating climate data for ageing RC structures
- Case studies from Ukraine and Greece reveal a 25% variation in deterioration rates
- Identifies “Achilles’ heel” vulnerabilities in historic infrastructure
- Demonstrates how proactive adaptation can save billions in future infrastructure costs
- A timely contribution to resilient and sustainable development in a changing climate
Congratulations to Dr Nadiia Kopiika and heartfelt thanks to my co-authors, Prof. Peter Robery and Prof. Jelena Ninic.
Let’s rethink how we maintain, model, and manage our infrastructure before deterioration becomes irreversible.
