Philippe Turcry is a Professor at the University of La Rochelle, affiliated with LaSIE (Laboratoire des Sciences de l'Ingénieur pour l'Environnement). He specializes in concrete carbonation research and has been invited to present his work at Centrale Nantes to the 'Green engineering approaches' and 'Processes and durability of materials and structures' Research Groups.
His research focuses on the reactive transfer of CO2 within concrete's porous matrix, examining how dissolved CO2 reacts with calcium ions to form stable calcium carbonate. Over twenty years, Turcry has developed multiple approaches to understanding this phenomenon through accelerated testing, modeling, and analysis of driving forces like gas diffusion and chemical reactivity. His work addresses evolving challenges in the field, particularly with new environmentally-friendly binders emerging over the last decade.
Philippe Turcry explores both traditional concerns about carbonation's impact on reinforced concrete durability and innovative applications where carbonation serves as a carbon sink through mineralization of CO2. His research includes practical applications such as carbonation of 'ecoconcrete' and CO2 capture using recycled concrete aggregates, contributing to sustainable construction materials development.
