Project description

This project has the following goals:

- Experimental and fundamental study of the influence of vacuum mixing on the pore structure, the rheological properties, the mechanical properties, and the durability of cementitious materials.

- Development of more generic models, based on fundamental technological parameters, which can predict the properties of cementitious materials independently from the considered concrete type (traditional concrete, selfcompacting concrete, reactive powder concrete)..
