Project description
 

The goal of this research is to radically mitigrate the autogenous shrinkage cracking of high performance concrete and ultra high performance concrete by a novel technology. this technology consist of the production of an artifial pozzaolanic porous material (APPM) for which the properties of controlled internal pore size wit high water absorption, and the pozzolanic properties are essentieal.
