Cement–based concrete is the most commonly used building material; however, its use as a high-performance material in reinforced structures such as bridges and in demanding underground environments requires sophisticated engineering.

Ongoing collaborative programs with both commercial and government partners focus on all aspects of cement and concrete engineering and management, including long-term performance, performance evaluation and prediction, life-cycle cost analysis, and the environmental and sustainability aspects and implications of concrete and cementations materials.

MFA provides technologies and solutions to advance practices in cement and concrete applications. Our capabilities enable evaluation, specification, mixture design, and optimization for both traditional and innovative materials. Our goals are to achieve rapid structural strength, excellent durability, and increased sustainability.
