Autorenporträt
Dr. Roberto J. Torrent is a researcher, consultant and partner of Materials Advanced Services Ltd. He held positions at the National Institute of Industrial Technology and Portland Cement Institute (Argentina), as well as at Holcim Technology Ltd. (Switzerland). For thirty years he has been directly involved in durability testing of a large variety of concretes, both in the lab and on site. In the 90s he invented the Torrent NDT Method for measuring air-permeability. He is a RILEM Honorary Member. Dr. Rui Neves was formerly a researcher at the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering (LNEC-Portugal). Currently he is Professor in the Structures and Geotechnics Division at Barreiro School of Technology, Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal, Portugal. His research efforts are mainly devoted to service life of reinforced concrete structures, with special emphasis on investigating and testing the permeability of concrete and rocks. He has carried out relevant consulting activity within the frame of concrete quality control, as well as inspection and appraisal of reinforced concrete structures. Dr. Kei-ichi Imamoto is a graduate of Tokyo University of Science, Japan. He performed research at Tokyu Construction Co. Ltd. for nine years and is now Professor at Tokyo University of Science. He received the Young Researcher`s award from AIJ (Architectural Institute of Japan) in 2008, and prizes from Japan Society for Finishing Technology, Japan Concrete Institute and Suga Weathering foundation. He is very active in durability testing and service life assessment of concrete structures.
