Theory-guided and supervised machine learning of shrinkage and creep properties for cement-based materials

With this collaborative project with Master Builders Solutions Deutschland GmbH, we are aiming at setting the bases for complementing poromechanics theory with machine learning models to address the general goal of predicting shrinkage and creep properties of cement-based materials

Among the basics, we focus on building up an infrastructure for creep and shrinkage data curation (the Shrinkage and Creep Data Curation System, SCDCS in short). For such purpose, we have adopted approaches/concepts/tools developed within the framework of the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) of the USA Govt.
 

Among all the software tools used, the most important one is the open source Materials Data Curation System (MDCS), developed and maintained by the USA National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The SCDCS is an example of domain application of the MDCS.
