Vi forsker på:

  • Mekanisk karakterisering og bestandighet av materialer til bygg og anlegg
  • Materialinnovasjon – nye materialer, og nye anvendelser av kjente materialer  
  • Metoder og tiltak for økt bruk av lokale materialer i veier og andre anlegg
  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) - Miljøfotavtrykk
  • Digitale verktøy i bygg og anlegg
  • Sirkulærøkonomi – gjenbruk og avfall/biprodukter som ressurs innen bygg og anlegg
  • Tilstandsovervåkning

Vi disponerer disse laboratoriene på instituttet (sidene er under oppbygning).
