Philippe Turcry

Philippe Turcry is a Teacher-Researcher at the University of La Rochelle, affiliated with the E3-TDVM research team. His work focuses on reactive transfers in porous media, cementitious materials, and the durability of reinforced concrete structures. He leads significant research on carbonation mechanisms, concrete formulation with recycled materials, and environmental impact assessment of construction technologies.

Research interests center on sustainable construction materials, including:

• Carbonation kinetics and CO₂ sequestration in cement-based systems
• Durability modeling of concrete structures under corrosion
• Valorization of construction waste through advanced recycling techniques
• Multi-scale analysis of transport phenomena in porous media
• Development of low-environmental-impact concretes

His publication portfolio demonstrates consistent focus on concrete durability and sustainability, with recent emphasis on recycled aggregate performance, accelerated carbonation techniques, and computational modeling of degradation processes. Dominant themes include CO₂ uptake quantification, microstructural analysis of carbonated materials, and AI applications in material characterization.

Major research projects include:

• FASTCARB (Accelerated carbonation of recycled aggregates)
• PERFDUB (Performance-based durability of concrete structures)
• ECOCORAIL (Sustainable marine materials for coastal preservation)
• ECOBETON (Low-environmental-impact concrete)
• MODEVIE (Modeling aging of concrete structures)

Supervised doctoral researchers include Mouna Boumaaza (gas diffusivity in cementitious materials) and Anas El Farissi (service life prediction of reinforced concrete). Collaborates extensively with national research consortia and industry partners on sustainable construction initiatives.
