SESSION 27 - INNOVATIVE CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS

 

CONTINUING EDUCATION FORM

​

Towards Innovative Cementitious Materials

​

Larry Sutter, Professor Emeritus and Research Professor, Materials Science and Engineering, Michigan Tech

​

Several innovative cementitious materials are entering the market to support low carbon concrete initiatives. Users should be assured that these materials can produce the required concrete properties. This presentation will discuss some of the types of materials and efforts to develop standards to evaluate and permit their use. The talk will also cover ongoing research, demonstration projects, and federal funding for new cementitious materials.
