Concrete lighter than Water
Yesterday, I received word that my research grant for "Minimizing Portland Cement in an Ultralightweight Concrete Composite" was approved!
What does this mean essentially? I get to spend time putting bubbles in concrete and researching a number of 'unique' reinforcement techniques to mitigate the strength loss associated with lighter densities. The motivation is making concrete to be a more accessible residential building material, on the order of 1/5th price of a typical volume build. Structural safety is paramount of course.
The good news, I get to publish the research to a Google Site for public access, so I think maybe I should post it on steem too!
