RILEM welcomes amongst its corporate (institutional) members the Construction Technologies Institute (ITC) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR)!

The Construction Technologies Institute (ITC) is a scientific structure within the Italian National Research Council (CNR), the largest Italian research body, which operates mainly in the civil engineering field. ITC expertise is mainly in the field of new construction technologies, with the aim of improving the quality of life and safety of construction works’ users .

The Institute offers its scientific, methodological and instrumental competences to the Public Administration and gives technical-scientific support at the national and European level, in the activities related to the preparation of technical rules, standards and specifications, with particular attention to innovative products and systems. Laboratory facilities allow for measuring of the chemical-physical-mechanical properties of advanced and traditional building materials and assessing mechanical, physical and seismic performances of construction products and systems, with interest also on their acoustic and thermal performance. ITC therefore pursues the improvement of the built environment through the search for new methods of assessment and verification in order to support the development of construction technologies, sustainable construction, the evaluation of performance and quality of products, components and building systems.
