Abstract:
The complexity of concrete has precluded, in the past, the development of computational tools for the materials science prediction and control of concrete properties. That situation is changing, in large part due to the efforts of the Inorganic Building Materials Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This article reviews the tools that are presently or soon to be available, including the Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory, the Electronic Monograph on the materials science of concrete, the Concrete Optimization Software Tool, and others.
