1. Internal frost damage in concrete - experimental studies of destruction mechanisms
Abstract : The aim of the study was to identify mechanisms acting at internal frost destruction of concrete. By 'internal frost destruction' is meant damage caused inside concrete that is moisture insulated from the surroundings, i.e. when no moisture exchange with the surroundings is possible during freeze-thaw.

2. Modelling of Transport Processes Involved in Service Life Prediction of Concrete : Important Principles
Abstract : The main focus in this licentiate thesis is a description of the environmentally introduced action of diffusing and chemically reactive (e.g. carbonation and chemical-physical adsorption-desorption) matter in the pore solution and in the air-filled space in the pore system of the material.

5. Energy Efficient Machine-Type Communications over Cellular Networks : A Battery Lifetime-Aware Cellular Network Design Framework
Abstract : Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the interconnection of uniquely identifiable smart devices which enables them to participate more actively in everyday life. Among large-scale applications, machine-type communications (MTC) supported by cellular networks will be one of the most important enablers for the success of IoT. READ MORE
