Some people like plastic Christmas trees; others prefer real wood and needles. This year, NIST is printing a tree out of concrete. The tree is not only festive
The agencies are funding 20 projects to be conducted across 24 institutions through the Disaster Resilience Research Grant (DRRG) program, which they manage
Engineers and technicians at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) spent months meticulously recreating the long concrete floors supported
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
Objective Develop a standard test method and a set of calibration reference materials to quantify pyrrhotite in concrete; document pyrrhotite/aggregate/concrete reactions and rates so that the most deleterious reactions can be efficiently reduced or eliminated; and evaluate proposed mitigation
Objective To systematically investigate concrete elements exposed to real fire conditions and provide guidance to citizens, industry, and stakeholders when presented with responding to fire events. Specifically, a methodology, protocol, and/or guidance that supports decisions on when to repair or
Objective By 2027, validate and implement the NIST Accelerated Weathering Laboratory (AWL) technology for conducting accurate and traceable aging experiments. By 2028, transfer the SPHERE technology to industrial stakeholders. Technical Idea A NIST Accelerated Weathering Laboratory (AWL) has been
