LORCENIS Long Lasting Reinforced Concrete for Energy Infrastructure under Severe Operating Conditions

Coordinator: SINTEF AS (NO)

The main goal of the LORCENIS project is to develop long reinforced concrete for energy infrastructures with lifetime extended up to a 100% under extreme operating conditions. The concept is based on an optimal combination of novel technologies involving customized methodologies for cost-efficient operation. 4 scenarios of severe operating conditions are considered:1. Concrete infrastructure in deep sea, arctic and subarctic zones: Offshore windmills, gravity based structures, bridge piles and harbours2. Concrete and mortar under mechanical fatigue in offshore windmills and sea structures3. C…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €7.6M toward a total project budget of €7.9M — a funding rate of 96%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2016-04-01 to 2020-03-31.
