Acquisition of Instrumentation for the Research and Development of High-Performance Cementitious Composites

9413725安萨里，法哈德这是乐器奖。一种新的混凝土类型--高性能混凝土(HPC)正在出现，其性能不能通过传统混凝土的知识进行外推预测。它提供了强大的动力，将混凝土技术的技术基础从经验主义转移到材料科学，以确保高性能混凝土的发展有坚实的基础，并借鉴材料科学和技术的发展，以及水泥基复合材料的使用寿命预测和设计寿命控制技术的发展。高性能水泥基复合材料研究计划的发展因缺乏支持此类计划的相关仪器而受到阻碍。该仪器将提高正在进行的研究的状态，并将为大学提供高性能混凝土的研究和开发工具。迫切需要制定方法，以优化高性能混凝土制造和加工中的关键程序，从选择和准备组成材料、其比例和混合开始，并持续到放置和养护。本项目中的设备将用于细颗粒工业副产品的表征研究，以开发高性能混凝土。***

9413725 Ansari, Farhad This is an instrumentation award. A new class of concrete, high- performance concrete (HPC), is emerging, whose performance cannot be predicted by extrapolation from knowledge of conventional concrete. It provides a strong incentive to move the technical basis for concrete technology from empiricism to materials science to ensure that developments in HPC have a solid foundation and draw on developments in materials science and technology, and in techniques for prediction of service life and control of the design life of cementitious composites. The development of research programs in high-performance cementitious composites is hindered by the lack of pertinent instrumentation to support such programs. The instrumentation will enhance the state of ongoing research, and will provide the university with tools for the research and development of high-performance concrete. There is a critical need for development of methodologies for the optimization of the critical procedures in the manufacture and processing of HPC, beginning with the selection and preparation of the constituent materials, their proportioning and mixing, and continuing through placing and curing. The equipment in this project will be employed in the research for characterization of fine particle industrial by- products for the development of high-performance concretes. ***
