U.S. -Finland Dissertation Enhancement: Early-Age Autogenous Shrinkage of Concrete

9978607 Jannsen该论文增强奖支持Donald Janssen的研究生Erika Holt（来自华盛顿大学）在位于赫尔辛基的芬兰技术研究中心（VTT）工作一年。 在土木工程和建筑领域，提供能够承受严重的物理和环境载荷的材料越来越重要。 作为主要的建筑材料，混凝土一直在不断改进，以满足设计的挑战。 这项工作是VTT和U.华盛顿，提供了在恶劣环境中使用先进材料组合物的经验。 这项工作最好在芬兰实验室进行，因为混凝土行业和研究人员之间的互动，独特的测试设施以及环境模拟的可用性。

9978607JannsenThis dissertation-enhancement award supports Donald Janssen's graduate student Erika Holt, from the University of Washington, to spend a year at the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT) in Helsinki. In the civil engineering and construction field it is increasingly important to provide materials which can withstand severe physical and environmental loads. As a primary building material, concrete has been continually improved to meet design challenges. This work is a continuation of previous studies pursued jointly by the VTT and U. Washington which provide experience with advanced material compositions in harsh environments. The work is best done in Finnish laboratories because of the interaction between the concrete industry and researchers, the unique testing facilities, and the availability of environmental simulations.
