The Research Department<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

We find traces of a Research Department within the Groupements Professionnels du Ciment (G.P.C)<\/em> since 1926. Its laboratories were already located at the ULB on the Solbosch Campus in Brussels. After the foundation of the Federal Centre CRIC-OCCN, the Department resumes its Research activities in 1959 for the Cement industry (federation FEBELCEM) and in 1994 for the industry of ready-mix concrete (federation FedBeton).<\/p>\n

Many Research projects of CRIC-OCCN are directly supported by the cement industry and the industry for ready-mix concrete and are thus realised on own Investment. The Research Department also realizes European, regional <\/em>and private <\/em>researches.<\/em> The main subjects of those researches are the development of testing methods (which are re-used in routine by the Testing Department), the new cementmaterials and their components, the durability of cementmaterials, concrete and its components, recycling, environment and health, exposed concrete\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
