Objective: To develop and deliver the measurement science identified by industry for assuring the performance of Industrial-by-Product (IBP) low-carbon footprint concretes with up to 50% by mass of the cement replaced by IBPs by 2015.
What is the new technical idea? The industry average cement
Objective - Develop the measurement science tools (metrologies, standards, and guidance documents) for quantitatively evaluating the critical material properties and ensuring the desired field performance of repair materials for our nation's concrete infrastructure. What is the new technical idea
Objective - Develop a U.S. resource for service life prediction by delivering a suite of measurement science tools including publically available data sets, statistical models, validation data, and geographically specific predictions based on validated statistical models. This resource will be the
Objective - This project will assess the seismic performance of structural steel SFRSs in buildings located in regions of moderate seismicity in the CEUS. The design of these building systems is commonly governed by wind demands. Two synergetic activities will be undertaken in this project: (1)
Retrofit and repair of structures occur under differing circumstances but are both necessary to improve existing building stock and increase resilience of
Portlandite (calcium hydroxide: CH: Ca(OH)2) suspensions aggregate spontaneously and form percolated fractal aggregate networks when dispersed in water. As a
