The workshop was held at VTT as part of the Finnish project "Effect of interacted deterioration parameters on service life of concrete structures in cold environments". The 3-year project began in 2008 and is funded by Tekes. The goal of the workshop was to share results and experiences on current concrete durability research, especially with regard to correlation of accelerated laboratory tests with real-time field exposure sites. Presentations were given on topics of frost resistance, abrasion, chloride ingress and existing field station data. International researchers were invited to share their expertise and collaboration ideas for future partnerships.
