Research at the WiB
Our research activities at the Institute of Construction and Building Materials
The Institute of Construction and Building Materials (WiB) has different research fields. Our portfolio and interests are not limited by these fields. Feel free to contact us for further information.
Research topics and groups
The research activities at the WiB are focused on three thematic areas. The areas here are not to be considered as separate topics but rather as complementary and supportive fields. Also through our high interdisciplinary team we are able to tackle a broad field of research related topics.
Do not hesitate to contact us!
The structure can be described as follows:
- Building Chemistry
- Building Physics of Construction Materials
- Circular Economy of Construction Materials
Our staff is often not only focused in one of these areas. For further information you can contact our senior researchers heading the different research fields.
