Abstract:
The Concrete Innovation Center (COIN) is one of 14 Centers for Research-Based Innovation by the Research Council of Norway. By capitalizing on the relationships and resources built into its structure, COIN aims to help their industry partners develop technologies to combat the major challenges facing the concrete industry. Through these technologies, the industry’s market share can be maintained as its sustainability is improved. An overview of the current research projects is presented.
