XIV International RILEM Conference on Materials, Systems and Structures in Civil Engineering Conference segment on Service Life of Cement-Based Materials and Structures 22-24 August 2016, Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark
submitted in the scope of COST TU1404 in MSSCE2016. Due to scheduling and organization issues, as well as affinity with topics of other segments, some of the papers were moved. A separate set of electronic proceedings shall be prepared to include all papers related to COST TU1404, and will be made available in the website of the Action (www.tu1404.eu).
August 2016, Lyngby, Denmark

This publication is based upon work from COST Action TU1404 ‘Towards the next generation of standards for service life of cement-based materials and structures’, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a pan-European intergovernmental framework. Its mission is to enable break-through scientific and technological developments leading to new concepts and products and thereby contribute to strengthening Europe’s research and innovation capacities. It allows researchers, engineers and scholars to jointly develop their own ideas and take new initiatives across all fields of science and technology, while promoting multi- and interdisciplinary approaches. COST aims at fostering a better integration of less research intensive countries to the knowledge hubs of the European Research Area. The COST Association, an International not-for-profit Association under Belgian Law, integrates all management, governing and administrative functions necessary for the operation of the framework. The COST Association has currently 36 Member Countries. ww.cost.eu
COST is supported by the EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020

Were you aware that a part of your daily language is likely to be in Danish? A thousand years ago the Danish word “Vindue” came along with the Vikings to England. Several hundred years later it reached North America, and from there – just two to three decades ago – almost every person in the world learned to understand and pronounce this word: “Windows”, which etymologically means “an eye to the wind”.
As a child your career as construction professional may have started with LEGO, and before you went to bed, your mother told you the unforgettable fairytales of H.C.Andersen. You may have grown up with the delicious taste of Lurpak butter on your bread, and though you might find it strange that “God plays dice with the Universe”, hopefully your school teacher told you that on this topic Einstein was flat out wrong and Niels Bohr was right. Right now you may prefer to be sitting in the sun with a chilled Carlsberg beer in your hand, enjoying the iconic view of the Sydney Opera House. All of it is Danish made, and many things around you at home, if not made in Denmark, were probably brought to you by Maersk, the world’s largest shipping company, the modern Danish Viking fleet.
Though Denmark is one of the world’s smallest countries, yet it stands – along with your country – among the greatest. On top of a thousand years of outreach from Denmark, your visit to the Danes is most welcome. On your approach to Copenhagen airport you had a view to wind turbines harvesting green energy, you saw record breaking bridges, and perhaps you got a glimpse of the island Ven where the nobleman Tycho Brahe literally speaking changed our view of the world through perfection of astronomical observations with his naked eye. In Copenhagen you may appreciate a walk in the fairytale amusement park TIVOLI, and in the Copenhagen harbour you may have a rendezvous with a Little Mermaid.
Of all things in Denmark you will surely enjoy the conference and doctoral courses Materials, Systems and Structures in Civil Engineering, MSSCE 2016 which are held in conjunction with the 70th annual RILEM week. On this occasion RILEM celebrates its 70 years birthday and thus maintains generations of experience. However, new activities and the in-built diversity keep RILEM fresh and dynamic like a teenager.
The event takes place in northern Copenhagen, Lyngby, at the campus of the Technical University of Denmark, 15-29 August 2016. MSSCE 2016 aims at extending the borders of the RILEM week by including doctoral courses, by involving a palette of RILEM topics in the conference and workshop activities, and by collaborating with other scientific organizations. The insight and outlook provided by this event make it RILEM’s technical and educational activity window.
It is a pleasure to share with you what is unique to RILEM and Denmark! Ole Mejlhede Jensen, Technical University of Denmark Honorary president of RILEM 2016, Chairman of MSSCE 2016
