Summary:

How does hydration affect the performance of concrete, including its setting, strength, and durability? Can advanced hydration models be developed that will allow practitioners to input the composition of cement, supplementary cementitious materials, and admixtures, combined with temperature, and receive guidance on a pavement's expected performance? Answering these questions is the goal of the Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program project "Mechanisms of Hydration and Setting of Ordinary Portland Cement in Simple and Complex Systems." Princeton University is conducting this research, which is funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Research partners for the project are the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST); Oklahoma State University; Rice University; University of California, Santa Barbara; and W.R. Grace and Company.
