- Abstract
- Cement-based materials are among the most widely used construction materials in the world. Their importance is highlighted by the recent establishment of research initiatives by the National Science Foundation and the Strategic Highway Research Program. The National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center for Advanced Cement-Based Materials (ACBM) is a consortium of five institutions: Northwestern University, the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, Purdue University, the University of Michigan, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The center's goal is to increase the understanding of cement-based materials to establish the scientific basis for developing new, high-performance classes of these materials.
