Functional testing for sulfate resistance of concrete

The construction industry needs performance‑based methods to assess concrete sulfate resistance. Current tests over‑rely on expansion and poorly capture real degradation, limiting low‑carbon concretes. This project develops mechan…

Reuse of prefabricated concrete elements, logistics and business model

Prefabricated concrete elements, such as HDF boards, slab foundations, columns and sandwich walls, are common materials for frame structures in Sweden. Reuse of concrete frames is considered to have great potential, but is a major…

Simplified testing methods for material parameters for early cracking

- Alternative binders for concrete - Validation of new testing methods adapted to alternative binders

CO2Crete – alternative storage of CO2, a complement to geol. storage

CCUS (Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage) has been identified as one of several key measures to be able to achieve both Sweden's and the global climate goals. The CO2Crete project will evaluate and validate different methods f…

Up-scaling of lightweight multi-functional concrete and ceramic materials

Development, characterization and upscaling of lightweight materials and components. Introducing new functionalities like self-sensing, easy-to-clean, photocatalytic materials due to the addition of the nanoparticles. Accelerating…

Swedish standard for the reuse of precast concrete elements

The new Swedish standard for the reuse of precast concrete elements establishes common guidelines for safety, quality, and liability, and is therefore key to making reuse a practical reality. During this webinar, you’ll receive an…

Testing cement and concrete – from the laboratory to the field

When it comes to building materials, quality, safety, and sustainability are crucial. Cement is the heart of concrete, and together with sand, aggregate, and other additives, it forms the basis of construction projects such as bri…

“Reuse must become the norm in the construction industry”

The construction sector has a lot to gain from reclaiming materials - especially load-bearing structures such as concrete frames, which often have a long lifespan after demolition. Despite the great climate potential, development …

Recycled concrete builds cities of the future

Producing concrete has become a major source of global CO2 emissions. Simultaneously, 70 percent of the world's population is expected to live in cities by 2050. The growing need for infrastructure and housing means that the use o…

From demolition material to resource: large-scale reuse in Solna

In Solna Business Park, Svenska kraftnät's new headquarters, a 52,000-square-meter building, is taking shape. Here, they are exploring how circular construction can work in practice, with parts of the existing building being caref…

Case study: Reuse of hollow concrete slabs from Ikea Kållered

When the old Ikea store in Kållered outside Gothenburg was demolished, a unique opportunity arose to test the large-scale reuse of prestressed concrete elements. In close collaboration between RISE, NCC, and Framtiden Byggutveckli…

Resource mapping of building products

Resource mapping is a process aimed at identifying and analyzing the materials and resources present in existing buildings, before renovation or demolition. It is important to use these resources efficiently and sustainably, which…

Quality assurance of concrete elements for reuse

Concrete is a durable material that can fulfill its function significantly longer than 50 years. Structural parts contributing to approx. 60% of the total carbon dioxide emissions from new construction can be reused. RISE offers q…

Applied Concrete Technology

Concrete Technology combines multidisciplinary knowledge from inorganic chemistry (binders), organic chemistry (additives) and geology (aggregate) providing the most used building material in the world. RRISE offerst services with…

UHPC

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is an alternative for a more lightweight, sustainable and robust built environment. Its high structural density provides extremely high strength and superior durability, which makes the UHPC …

Nanotechnology

The extremely small length scale of nanomaterials (below 100 nm) results in unique properties, such as optical, electronic, mechanical and magnetic properties. RISE offer a wide range of expertise to help you enable those unique p…

Cellular lightweight concrete

During the last decades there is an increasing trend towards the use of lightweight materials in constructions and infrastructures. In that sense concrete is a material with an intermediate density of around 2400 kg/m3. 

Testbed for 3D-concrete printing

The testbed offers the development of materials for concrete 3D printing (both one- and two-component), design, prototyping and validation in connection with other testbeds at RISE. The robot arm on a track enables the printing of…
