Brief Curriculum Vitae

Quoc Tri Phung (PhD in Civil Engineering) has joined the SCK•CEN since 2011 in Waste and Disposal group, where he developed and proposed new methodologies and modelling tools to study the long-term degradation of cementitious materials used in radioactive waste disposal facilities. He has more than 10 years of experience in concrete materials. His research lines include transport properties of cementitious materials; degradation processes of cementitious materials and their impact on microstructure and transport properties; concrete-clay interaction; cemented waste.

Research interests related to the TC 281-CCC WG4

Within WP4, I would like to contribute to the following tasks:

1.      Development of a model to simulate the combined carbonation and mechanical loading;

2.      Experimental work: limited contribution because we only have the setups to carbonate samples without mechanical loading; we may measure water permeability using our novel setup;

3.      Literature review on combined actions.
