Luping Tang

Luping Tang is a full Professor at the Division of Building Technology, Chalmers University of Technology, supervising the Building Materials research group. His work focuses on cementitious materials and durability, with the globally adopted Rapid Chloride Migration (RCM) method.

• Role: Full Professor & Research Group Leader
• University: Chalmers University of Technology
• Division: Building Technology

Research Focus: Durability of concrete structures, chloride and carbonation transport mechanisms, sustainable cementitious materials, hydration modeling, and non-destructive testing. His studies address seawater concrete, waste material utilization, and electrochemical protection systems.

• Key areas: Cementitious Durability, Low-Carbon Concrete, Ion Transport, Hydration Kinetics

Article Trends: Recent publications emphasize eco-friendly cement blends (LC3, fly ash, slag), chloride-carbonation interactions, marine exposure testing, and innovative methods for hydration monitoring via electrical properties. Applications include carbon capture composites, geopolymer synthesis, and corrosion protection systems.

Labs & Collaborations: Leads Building Materials research group at Chalmers, collaborates with RILEM TC 289-DCM on marine exposure guidelines, and investigates sensor-based monitoring systems for concrete properties.
