Cebama reference mix design for low-pH concrete and paste, preliminary characterisation

Trabajo presentado al Second Workshop of the HORIZON 2020 CEBAMA Project, celebrado en Espoo (Finlandia), del 16 al 18 de mayo de 2017.
A reference low-pH concrete and paste mix were manufactured within the Cebama-project. Reference mixtures were casted at VTT in March 2016 and were distributed among some of the Cebama partners. Reference mix designs will be used by different partners as a common material to study their behaviour in contact with waters of different composition and interaction with radionuclides. Additionally, these materials will be used for model calibration. This article provides a summary of the characterization methods used by different partners and gives an overview of the experiments which will be made in the future with the reference materials.
The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Reasearch and Training Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) (H2020-NFRP-2014/2015) under grant agreement n° 662147 (CEBAMA).
