Abstract:Computational models that predict the behavior of cement and concrete seek to reduce industry reliance on predictive empirical relationships through simulation of the micro-scale chemical and thermal phenomena of cement hydration and their influence on macro-scale material properties. Models such as the Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory (VCCTL) provide a deterministic link between measurable characteristics of aggregate Computational models that predict the behavior of cement and concrete seek to reduce industry reliance on predictive empirical relationships through simulation of the micro-scale chemical and thermal phenomena of cement hydration and their influence on macro-scale material properties. Models such as the Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory (VCCTL) provide a deterministic link between measurable characteristics of aggregate and mineral binders, the temperature and moisture of the curing environment, and the evolving properties of paste, mortar, and concrete. The following report summarizes efforts to explore the as-delivered capabilities of the VCCTL, and identify and rectify its limitations.
