Funded Activity Summary

Foam concrete using three-dimensional printing and nano-engineering. This project aims to design foam concrete. Foam concrete, made of air-voids and thin concrete films, has good thermal insulation/fire resistance and energy adsorption capacity but is weak. This project will develop a foam concrete via 3D printing to control air-void structures to achieve high strength and ductility and nano-engineering to improve the performance and durability of thin concrete films. It is expected that this high-performance foam concrete can be used as a load-bearing structural element to reduce construction costs. The project should discover chemical and physical mechanisms governing the resilience and sustainability of newly developed foam concrete.
