The proposed work aims to optimise the formulation of cements and concretes based on partial replacement of CO2 intensive clinker by locally available waste streams and by-products as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). This will have the dual benefit of reducing CO2 emissions and utilising materials which would otherwise be landfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main activity of the project is carried out by 2 PhD students &#8211; Matea Flegar and Kiran Ram Porikam Poil, which are based in Croatia and with Professor Serdar as the main supervisor. ACT PhD students spend about one-third of the project at EPFL, learning about microstructural analysis of cementitious materials and applying the methods of Professor Scrivener\u2019s group to their materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> The two PhD projects focus on two quite different aspects of advanced sustainable concrete. Matea Flegar is looking at how to achieve the minimum environmental footprint for standard concrete: strength in the range 20-40 MPa and no particular durability requirement, for example for housing (low requirement &#8211; wide application market). Kiran Ram is looking at high-performance concrete for infrastructure subject to aggressive environments, such as chloride ingress (high requirements &#8211; narrow application market).  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Funding agency: Croatian Science Foundation and the Swiss National Science FoundationProject identifier: Swiss-Croatian Cooperation Programme Project duration: April 2019 &#8211; March 2022 Project ACT is a collaboration between Professor Karen Scrivener of the Laboratory of Construction Materials at EPFL and Assistant Professor Marijana Serdar from Department of Materials, Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb.
