May 1997 to Present Time
As acknowledgment of my research and development project proposal I was selected for supervising of High Performance Cement Based Materials Project been developed by CIMSA Cement Production and Trading Corporation.
The main directions of my project are:
Installation of
high performance cement technology Creation of new types of high performance
cements
Development of ready mix concrete
technology
The main areas of my activities are the following:
Installation and
development of high performance cement technology Development of eco- cement technology for
industrial by-products and waste utilisation
Development of new products based
on high performance cement technology, such as colour
cements and dry mixes, alkali - aggregate reaction free
cement, super fine cements and grouts, super air
entraining and gas generating cements, super rapid
hardening cements, polymer modified cements
Development of high performance
ready-mixed concrete
Investigation of durability of
high performance cement based materials
Providing the industry with
software necessary for performance prediction, production
of new materials and applying of new processes.
Providing the advertising
activities including conferences, meetings, publications,
video- and Internet opportunities
To achieve the project targets I supervised the following research:
Development and application of
computer program for optimal aggregates proportioning Computer based examination and
optimisation of concrete mixture design
Investigation of
plasticizing/superplasticizing admixtures and silica fume
effect on rheology of cement paste, slump and strength
behaviour of concrete
Laboratory production and tests
of high performance cement
Optimisation of sulfate resistant
high performance cement composition
Field tests of high performance
cement resistance to chemical attack for application in
chemical industry
Semi- industrial trials of high
performance cement technology
The main results achieved were the following:
Design of computer program for
aggregates proportion optimisation Aggregate Inspector
(Aggr-Ins) Optimisation
concrete mixture proportioning and application of
plasticizing/superplasticizing admixtures and silica fume
allowed to improve performance of ready mix concrete, as
well as to save around 10% of cement
Laboratory tests and optimisation
of high performance cement composition provided
conditions for semi- and full scale industrial trials of
high performance cement technology
