Accelerated Weathering Laboratory: Metrology and Technology Transfer

Ongoing
Objective - To maintain, improve and expand capabilities at the NIST Accelerated Weathering Laboratory (AWL) to conduct safe, accurate and traceable aging experiments, develop materials degradation databases, and to transfer the SPHERE technology to industrial stakeholders. What is the new technical

Carbon Removal, Capture, Use, and Sequestration

Ongoing
NIST develops benchmark materials, measurements, data, and models to accelerate innovation in and validate performance of materials and technologies for the capture of carbon from air and sequestration in building materials.

Continuing Support of Cement Manufacturing

Ongoing
NIST SRMs for Portland cement and related materials are the de facto world standards for validation of analytical methods for testing of cement for compliance with manufacturing specifications and for qualification of laboratories throughout the supply chain, including cement plants, construction

Engineered Materials for Resilient Infrastructure Program

Ongoing
Objective - To develop and deploy measurement science to reliably assess the current and future performance of engineered materials in support of resilient infrastructure given exposure to chronic (e.g., materials degradation) and episodic (e.g., earthquakes) hazards. What is the technical idea? To

Low Carbon Cements and Concretes Consortium

Ongoing
Cement is one of the most widely used materials and a critical component of roads, bridges, and buildings. Cement manufacturing is also a major contributor to carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions through both energy use and calcination reactions. To help meet net zero climate goals, industry is
