Research and Development

When questions are raised concerning cement and concrete, chances are that Portland Cement Association engineers can provide the answers. In addition to serving as a clearinghouse for technical information on cement and concrete from sources worldwide, PCA itself has sponsored research directed at extending the boundaries of technical knowledge in the field throughout its 85-year history.

PCA’s research has produced a significant body of information that engineers, architects, and other users of cement and concrete have come to rely on to ensure that cement and concrete will perform as intended. Test results and test methodologies developed by PCA have been incorporated into standards and specifications of state Departments of Transportation, the Federal Highway Ad ministration, the American Concrete Institute, and ASTM International.
