U.S.-Thailand Cooperative Research: Rice Husk Ash-Modified Concrete in the Marine Environment

0424486Reddy这是美国和泰国的合作研究项目，由佛罗里达大西洋大学的D.V.Reddy博士和泰国朱拉隆功大学的Ekait Limsuwan教授合作，研究稻壳灰改性混凝土在海洋环境中的腐蚀行为。美国和泰国的首席调查人员都是这一研究领域的专家。这是首次对稻壳灰改性混凝土在海洋环境中的腐蚀行为进行系统研究。这项研究的成功可以导致更好地利用一种非常古老的材料--稻壳，它经常被浪费，作为一种新的建筑资源。这项研究可能带来的进展可使许多沿海社区和东南亚国家受益。这项研究项目将由国家科学基金会和泰国国家科学技术发展署联合支持。

0424486ReddyThis is a U.S.-Thailand cooperative research project between Dr. D. V. Reddy, Florida Atlantic University and Professor Ekasit Limsuwan, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, to study the corrosion behavior of rice husk ash-modified concrete in the marine environment. Both U.S. and Thai principal investigators are experts in this area of research. This is the first systematic study of corrosive behavior of rice husk ash-modified concrete in the marine environment. The success of this study can lead to better utilization of a very old material, rice husk, which has often been wasted, as a new building resource. The advances that may result from this study can benefit many coastal communities and South East Asia countries. This research project will be jointly supported by the NSF and the National Science and Technology Development Agency of Thailand.
