In memoriam Prof. Odd E. Gjørv

It is with great sadness that we learned about the passing away of Prof. Odd E. Gjørv, Professor Emeritus and former head of the Department of Building Materials at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway. Dr. Gjørv has been a member of the Norwegian Academy of Technical Sciences since 1979 and has been engaged in a large number of international professional societies and activities for construction materials. He has published more than 400 scientific papers and several books in the field of concrete technology. His research mainly includes advanced concrete materials and concrete construction as well as durability and service life of major concrete infrastructure.

Prof. Odd E. Gjørv passed away on 16 February 2016. RILEM presents sincere condolences to the family of Prof. Gjørv. We have lost an expert in our field… and even more important, a good friend many of us had the opportunity to meet at RILEM conferences and events.
