Inorganic Materials Group
|
Welcome
The Inorganic Materials Group, with the cooperation of industry, is performing research to develop a fundamental understanding of the relationship between chemistry, microstructure, performance, and service life of conventional and high-performance concrete and other inorganic building materials. This work involves the synergetic combination of both experimental and computational materials science research. This work will help the U.S. construction industry be competitive in advanced concrete materials and construction. The research is being coordinated with industry, voluntary standards organizations, trade associations, and federal and state government agencies. Programs/Projects
Early-Age Performance of Concrete Project—Successfully delivering the desired early-age performance of concrete, upon which long-term sustainable performance depends, requires careful selection of mutually compatible constituent materials, … Long Term Performance of Concrete—Sustainable concrete construction requires performance-based knowledge of expected durability and service life. Implementation of both design for durability and performance-based … Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory—The Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory (VCCTL) project develops and integrates state-of-the-art computational materials science tools into a user friendly software interface that can be … |
