Other concrete blogs

There seems to be an increasing number of blogs dealing with concrete research on the internet. We don't know if we (Microlab) started it, but we like the trend!

For more info, check out the following:
  1. www.cementscience.com  - This is a website on research of cement science, a world of cementitious materials by Tan Zhijun.
  2. http://www.csla-project.blogspot.com - Concrete Service Life Assessment (The VTT/Tekes Research Project CSL)  will study the characteristics of chloride ion transport in concrete subject to frost attack (surface scaling and internal cracking), and develop models for more reliable service life design approach taking into account the interacted effect of degradation mechanisms. This blog was started by Dr. Miguel Ferreira of VTT, Finland.
Cheers!
