Luigi Coppola’s scientific activity is documented by publications on materials and, in particular, focused on construction materials in the following fields:
- admixtures and mineral additives for mortars and concrete;
- low-carbon binders alternative to portland cement;
- waste management in mortar and concrete production;
- sustainable mortars and concretes with reduced carbon footprint;
- high and ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete;
- deterioration, durability and repair of concrete structures;
- design of the concrete composition (concrete mix-design);
- deterioration and restoration of historical buildings;
- corrosion and protection of rebars in reinforced concrete and reinforced pre-cast concrete structures.
Results of Luigi Coppola’s research activity can be summarized in more than 300 original papers, 26 books; 3 expert systems (software) and 1 patent.
In June 2000 Luigi Coppola was conferred an award for the “Outstanding and sustained contributions to enhance the Durability of Concrete” by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and the Canadian Institute of Materials, Energy and Transportation (CANMET).
