This work is an overview of the state of art on Ageing of Materials and structures in the world. Ageing of materials is a natural phenomenon. Each material we use will age. This ageing will influence the performance of the object where the materials is used. Furthermore, the ageing will be affected by the surroundings in which the object is placed. The main focus of the book is on materials used in infrastructure, energy, buildings and industry. The book in effect establishes the definition of ageing and its main research topics that are relevant for society.

Klaas van Breugel is currently a full professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering & Geosciences at the Technical University Delft, the Netherlands. He holds an MSc and a PhD in Civil Engineering from Delft University of Technology. His principal research interests include the design of concrete structures under extreme load conditions like fire, impact, blast loads and cryogenic loads, modelling of hydration and microstructure development in young concrete, tightness issues and durability, and service life prediction for concrete structures. Professor van Breugel is a member of several international organisations, including the ACI, RILEM, IABSE and fib. In 2014 he was nominated as a RILEM Follow, in recognition of his exceptional scientific contributions to RILEM’s work.
D.A. Koleva is an assistant professor at Delft University of Technology, Faculty CiTG, M&E, the Netherlands. She holds an MSc in Chemical Engineering and a PhD from Delft University of Technology. Herexpertise and main research interests are in the fields of corrosion and protection of metals, steel, and reinforced concrete. She has conducted pioneering research on the synergetic evaluation of electrochemical phenomena and cement-based microstructures for corrosion control in reinforced concrete. She has authored, co-authored and co-edited more than 120 articles, book chapters and books on the subjects of steel corrosion, galvanic coatings, cathodic protection and concrete durability.
Anton van Beek works at SKG-IKOB as the head of the laboratory. His main research interests include testing materials, components and systems mainly for the construction industry, targeting durability issues, and performance after ageing. He completed his MSc and PhD degrees at Delft University of Technology, where his main topics were young concrete and the dielectric properties of concrete. Recently he worked as the director of the Ageing Centre at the Department of Civil Engi
