About the research
Research objective: The purpose of this project is to evaluate cementitious materials combinations that will perform well in different environmental and climatic conditions. In particular, this phase of the work is focused on concrete mixtures that have desired properties in both the construction and hardened phases in cold weather, hot weather, freeze-thaw cyclic conditions, and where road salts and corrosion may be factors in the life cycle of the concrete elements.
