CROSS-DISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AT ACBM
Integrating the understanding of microstructure with processing and engineering properties is one of the major goals of the Science and Technology Center for Advanced Cement-Based Materials in the U.S., established in 1989. An overview of some of the new research is presented. The center has made significant progress in (1) characterizing pore structure, (2) developing experimental tools and computer models to relate evolving pore structure with permeability and conductivity, (3) understanding rheology, (4) designing a new class of organo-silicate composites, (5) understanding fracture process zone, and (6) high performance fiber reinforced composites.
