Talles Felix

Talles is a doctoral researcher at the Division of Structural Engineering in the research area of Concrete Structures. His research focuses on the long-term performance of concrete with low-carbon binders, an essential area for reducing the carbon footprint of building materials and promoting a more sustainable construction industry. He combines experimental and numerical analyses to investigate the evolving physico-chemical processes, internal structure, and mechanical behavior in four dimensions (3D + time) during chloride ingress, steel reinforcement corrosion, and corrosion-induced cracking in both conventional and low-carbon concretes.
