If you're not yet tired of hearing about RAAC, I'll be live on the BBC News TV Channel at 4 o'clock. #RAAC
@CementsSheff @msesheffield @SheffUniEng @ShefUniNews – at Sheffield, England

We're lucky to have such incredible speakers at the #CSACementsSeminar. In fact we think they all deserve an Oscar! Being in LA, the home of Hollywood, it was possible to get some! Today we have presentations from @Arup, @CaltransHQ, @MineralProduct, @UKNNL, @HydrovaTech & more!

An amazing day so far at the CSA Cements Seminar! Thanks to all for engaging presentations & contributions, including talks from PDRAs Vaishnav Kumar Shenbagam on Green, Circular & Smart Cement & Wahab Abdul & Chancel Mawalala Moundounga on the Thermodynamics of CSA clinkering
Amazing day with an amazing team!
It was great to get together for our away day, where we shared our expertise & values!It was clear we're all on the same mission to reduce the environmental impact of cement & concrete & find real-world solutions. Thanks to our facilitator @sandrinesoubes & hosts @Whirlowbrook

Thanks to all who joined our meeting on green, circular and smart cement manufacture - a project looking at how alumina containing wastes can be used in CSA cement clinker. We're honoured to have a range of experts and partners joining us on this (as tagged below)
A great new opportunity to join our team! :)
New role for the new year! We're looking for a Research Associate in Cements for a Circular Economy. The research is part of the @icec_mcm, led by @ucl in collaboration with @sheffielduni & academic & industrial partners. Find out more and apply here: jobs.shef.ac.uk/sap/bc/webdy…

New paper🚨The primary cause of reinforced concrete reaching end of service life is penetration of chloride ions from seawater & de-icing salts. @RunciAntonino examines long-term corrosion of reinforcing steel when embedded in different binder compositions sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Our group members Laura and Charley are at COP27 this week - keep following us and @SheffUniEng for updates about their insights and experiences there
@lau_ra_stef @Rachel_Lasko and Charley live from the #Climate #Implementation summit - keynote of Egyptian president El-Sisi at #COP27 @granthamcsf @sheffielduni @msesheffield @CBESheffield @CementsSheff
Congratulations to @MalihehDavood who joined the @CementsSheff team in September on her recently published paper🥳
Can we engineer concrete to sense the onset of acid corrosion? In this paper our member @MalihehDavood & colleagues @nanoDresden explore how alkali activated nanocomposites could be designed to sense the presence and concentration of sulphuric acid sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Producing clinker generates the most CO2 in the cement making process. In this webinar Theo Hanein @LordofClinker shares how we can produce it more sustainably - from changing the raw materials to new process modelling #TFI_FLG @innovateuk @UKRI_news youtube.com/watch?v=EUXX3k-k…

Great to see the work of our Postdoc Researchers being recognised - an excellent paper from @AniruddhaBaral4 on the irradiation effects on the concrete biological shield in nuclear power plants
Understanding behavior of #concrete upon #irradiation is crucial for long term operation of #nuclear power plants worldwide.
We now report the effects of ultra-high gamma irradiation on calcium silicate hydrates in cements.
Congrats @AniruddhaBaral4

Delighted to chair this @RILEM1947 technical committee alongside with @LordOfClinker. Mineral wastes are a massive environmental liability and immediate action is needed!! @specsresearchUH @UHertsResearch @UHMediaComms
Happy to share @RILEM1947 has a new Technical Committee on Upcycling Mineral Wastes, with Chair @drantkan and our group member @LordOfClinker as Deputy. With an urgent need for alternative raw materials, UMW will gather knowledge & map our global resources rilem.net/groupe/umw-upcycli…
