Abstract:: Most of the concrete in the world is produced using hydraulic cement (ordinary portland cement, OPC) and siliceous or alumino-siliceous supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). Due to the shift in focus toward environmental sustainability within the construction industry, alkali-activated cementitious systems (AAC) have gained significant attention to reduce the carbon footprint...

Creator:: Murkute, Pratik V.
Abstract:: Low carbon steels (LCS) due to their high strength-to-cost ratio are one of the most ubiquitous materials used for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to automotive, construction, and transportation. However, the low corrosion resistance of LCS in neutral, acidic, or saline environments limits its utilization and...

Abstract:: The goal of this paper is to evaluate how synthetic lubricants perform in an enclosed gearbox application when compared with a proven mineral oil. This is in an effort to improve gearbox efficiency with the desired effect of lower emissions from of improved energy output from power generation. Four liquid...

Creator:: Glosser, Deborah B.
Abstract:: Thermodynamic modeling of cementitious material is an established tool for predicting the hydrated phase assemblages, pore solution pH, and pore solution composition of mixtures of various chemical compositions and water-to-binder (w/b) ratios. However, traditional thermodynamic techniques have major limitations for modeling mixtures containing supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), and when modeling...
