Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory Consortium Annual Report, 2002
The Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory (VCCTL) Consortium was formed in January 2001. The VCCTL Consortium Oversight Board, consisting of one representative from each member organization and the VCCTL Consortium Manager from NIST, governs the activities and direction of the consortium. The ultimate goal of the consortium is to address durability and service life prediction, but the members recognized that first efforts must be concentrated towards enhancing the current microstructure models and property calculations. Therefore, the three major initial research topics of the consortium were: (1) enhancements to the cement hydration and microstructure development model to consider additional supplementary materials such as slags and limestones and the prediction of pore solution concentrations, (2) computation of the elastic properties (elastic modulus, creep, shrinkage) of three-dimensional microstructures, and (3) experimental measurement and computer modeling of the rheological properties (viscosity, yield stress) of cement-based materials. This document reports the activities of the VCCTL Consortium in 2002.
