The reinforced concrete structures present the vast majority of engineering constructions and prolongation of its service life has a positive impact on national economy.
They are mainly large civil engineering and highway constructions, large parking places and other constructions of big importance its shut-down or big reconstructions are not possible.
Other research of corrosion inhibitor actuations on steel reinforcement was carried out at Faculty of Civil Engineering at VUT Brno.

Environmental engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to improve the natural environment (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation (house or home) and for other organisms, and to remediate polluted sites.
At many universities, Environmental Engineering programs follow either the Department of Civil Engineering or The Department of Chemical Engineering at engineering faculties.
Environmental "civil" engineers focus on hydrology, water resources management, bioremediation, and water treatment plant design.
Materials science is an interdisciplinary field applying the properties of matter to various areas of science and engineering.
It is also an important part of forensic engineering and failure analysis.
