Clarkson Professor Awarded NASA Grant to Study Lunar Concrete

Potsdam, NY (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Robert Thomas, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Clarkson University, has been awarded a nearly $100k research grant from NASA to study lunar concrete, which is an infrastructure material designed for use in lunar construction. NASA’s Moon-to-Mars Planetary Autonomous Construction Technology (MMPACT) program seeks to deliver technologies […] The post Clarkson Professor Awarded NASA Grant to Study Lunar Concrete appeared first on Civil + Structural Engineer magazine.

NEW VERTICAL SLIP FORMING TECHNIQUE UTILIZING CEMENTS THAT WILL DOUBLE THE SLIP RATE WHILE CUTING COST AND MANPOWER - A paper published by Geopolymer Solutions, Andy Filak, and Per Lindgen

Setting time of concrete depends on temperature. This can be achieved by a new type of cement used in the concrete. Seven years ago, a company in Houston Texas called Geopolymer Solutions, LLC invented this cement (binder) for concrete called Cold Fusion Cement (CFC). This company, now with its new cement for concrete, obtained a patent entitled “Method of making construction materials with a voltage.”
