Endurcrete Project aims at evaluating the durability performance of concretes using new cement types. Samples of enhanced concrete were prepared in Acciona facilities and we are happy to share the photos of casting and mix preparation.
A series of durability tests were designed in order to compare EnDurCrete with traditional concrete. These new dosages developed in EnDurCrete project included new types of cement and new elements (functionalized nano-clays, and recycled carbon-based fillers/fibres). In addition, laboratory tests were performed.
See the photos in our Gallery and stay tuned for further concrete updates!
