Description

A Green and Fire-resistant Magnesium Oxychloride Cementitious Composite . This project aims to develop a novel and green fibre reinforced magnesium oxychloride cementitious composite with durability and resilience for buildings subject to fire/bushfire attack via well-integrated multiscale numerical and experimental studies. This enhances integrity and safety of buildings and increases the energy efficiency for buildings. The project will significantly advance the research and application of green cement, and find a solution for recycle and reuse a large amount of waste/industry by-products in construction towards circular economy. The research outcomes are innovative material, models, experiment technology and modelling methods, with significant impact and benefits to environment, economy and society. . Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 0905 - Civil Engineering. Lead: Prof Yixia (Sarah) Zhang
