This $599,994 National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) award to Clarkson University supports research to investigate the long-term durability properties of rapid-setting and sustainable belitic calcium sulfoaluminate (BCSA) cement. The research aims to characterize the hydration chemistry and microstructure of BCSA cement over time, assess its corrosion resistance and alkali-silica reactivity, and make connections between these properties and long-term performance. The award also funds educational initiatives focused on workforce development for design and construction professionals through micro-credential courses. This 5-year project, beginning in August 2024, seeks to advance materials science, cement chemistry, concrete durability, and corrosion science.
