Cement & Concrete

Sandia has longstanding experience developing and testing cements, supplemental cementitious materials, and low-cost, alternative heating technologies. Our capabilities span modeling, testing, characterization, monitoring, and life-cycle assessments for traditional Portland cement as well as next-generation compositions.

Open AllClose All
  • Development and testing of next-generation cement formulations
  • Large-scale materials testing and in-situ monitoring
  • High-temperature process-heat system design and system-level modeling
  • Multi-scale material modeling and prediction of material stability
  • Testing for a wide variety of cement properties and service conditions
  • Materials characterization for small- and large-scale samples
  • Molecular-scale, thermodynamic, and reactive transport modeling
  • Technoeconomic analysis and life-cycle assessment for cement

Sandia can help to accelerate the adoption of novel cements and associated technologies. We bring expertise in test-method development, modeling, data collection, monitoring, and carbon accounting.
