Oregon State University was awarded a $325,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program.
The three-year award will support collaborative research to advance understanding of fracture response and transport behavior in additively manufactured layered concrete materials. Oregon State University will work with partners to engineer concrete composites using 3D printing techniques and evaluate their mechanical properties.
Insights gained from this research could enable more durable and sustainable concrete construction through additive manufacturing approaches. The work directly addresses priorities under the NSF Engineering program to foster innovation in engineering research and education.
