Infrastructure Laboratory - Interdepartmental centre SISCON (Safety of infrastructures and constructions)

Lab for mortars and concrete manufacturing and for ceramics microstructural characterisation by means of mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA up to 1600 °C). A laser granulometer for powders particle size measurement (10 nm-3 mm) and a rheometer for the measurement of the viscosity of ceramic slurries and cement pastes/mortars are also available in this lab.
