Advanced Construction Materials Lab. (ACML)

Advanced Construction Materials Laboratory (ACML) at Yonsei University (Director: Prof. Doo-Yeol Yoo) is focused on developing (ultra-) high-performance concrete having an excellent resistance to extreme loadings and environmental conditions and producing low carbon dioxide emissions. Current research topics are to develop high energy absorbent Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC), nanomaterials effect, self-sensing cement-based materials, analytical tools for post-cracking tensile behavior of UHPC based on micromechanics and fracture-mechanics, strain-rate effect, cementless UHPC based on alkali activataed materials, and ultra-ductile Strain-Hardening Cementitious Composites (SHCC) with strain capacity over 10%.
