Ludger Lohaus

Prof. Ludger Lohaus is a faculty member at the Leibniz University Hannover in the Institute of Construction Materials (Institut für Baustoffe). His research focuses on advanced concrete technology, durability, fatigue behavior, and sustainable construction materials. He has led numerous projects on high-performance concrete (HPC), ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), and offshore wind energy structures.

Key research interests include:

• Pump stability of fresh concrete
• Robustness of specialized concretes
• Damage mechanics in concrete under cyclic loading
• Environmental effects on concrete durability
• Offshore grout joint technology

Publications span over 15 years, emphasizing experimental and numerical investigations in:

• Fatigue behavior of concrete under varying environmental conditions
• Rheological properties of cement-based materials
• Design methodologies for offshore wind turbine foundations
• Sustainable concrete mix design with reduced CO₂ emissions

His work bridges laboratory research with practical applications, influencing industry standards for exposed concrete aesthetics and structural reliability.
