Presidential Young Investigator Award: Concrete Properties and Construction Methods

该奖项根据基金会的 总统青年研究者奖（PYIA） 电流和 最近完成的一项研究包括对 混凝土板作为环境条件和表面的函数 整理技术 此外，当局亦正进行腐蚀 钢筋和碱骨料反应。 计划 近期内包括扩大这些项目，并进行评价 混凝土的孔隙率作为施工程序的函数。 实验工作将与“专家”的发展相结合。 系统”作为包装先进混凝土技术的手段， 进入工地的方式。

This award provides research support under the Foundation's Presidential Young Investigator Awards (PYIA) program. Current and recently completed research includes a study of surface cracks in concrete slabs as a function of environmental conditions and surface finishing techniques. Work is also in progress on corrision of reinforcing steel and alkali-aggregate reaction. Plans for the immediate future include expansion of these projects, plus evaluation of the porosity of concrete as a function of construction procedures. Experimental work will be coupled with the development of an "Expert System" as a means of packaging advanced concrete technology in a manner accessible to the jobsite.
