Accelerated Discovery of Sustainable Building Materials

Understand

Concrete is the most widely used engineered material in the world with more than 10 billion tons produced annually.

• Unfortunately, with that scale comes a significant burden in terms of energy, water, and release of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.
• As such, there is interest in creating concrete formulas that minimize this environmental burden, while satisfying engineering performance requirements.
• Recent advances in artificial intelligence have enabled machines to generate highly plausible artifacts, such as images of realistic looking faces.
