Funded Activity Summary

Concrete Mixes for Durability: A Hybrid Mathematical Optimisation Approach. This project will lead a paradigm shift in concrete mix design methodology, which is currently focused on meeting the mechanical performance objectives of concrete, to a holistic approach that maximises durability of concrete alongside its mechanical performance. The approach is based on a hybrid methodology involving mathematical optimisation of concrete mix based on empirically formulated objective functions for durability properties and mechanical properties. The multi-objective nature of proposed optimisation model will allow simultaneous consideration of several design objectives including: minimising the overall risk of cracking, minimising the permeability; and maximising the rate of strength development.
