Research Project: Development of high temperature experimental methods for validation of novel concrete constitutive models for nuclear applications
This project aims to support the development of novel experimental techniques that will allow the collection of invaluable experimental data pertinent to concrete under severe transient conditions. This will serve as an open database for the nuclear industry and is relevant to the general civil engineering industry as a whole, for situations where fire safety is important.
