Abstract
The proposal is focused on tailor made concretes with verification of performance, considering composition, mechanical properties, durability and sustainability. Properties shall be formulated in such a way that the derivation of behavioral models and design recommendations for practical applications will be achieved. Important aspects are: - Influence of supplementary materials on concrete properties. Use of different reactive additions and admixtures for improving the Interfatial Transition Zone of matrices, from nano and micro scale, to macro scale. - Environmental and sustainability aspects of concrete. - Performance based specifications for concrete (fiber reinforced concrete, ultrahigh performance concrete). This stay was in collaboration with Prof. Dehn from the University of Leipzig.
