The UNB Concrete Materials group has facilities to conduct most CSA and ASTM standard test methods for cement concrete, and to carry out advanced research in this field.

Theses facilities include:

• Mortar and concrete mixers
• Wide range of testing machines and load frames for determining compressive, tensile and flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, creep
• Temperature and humidity controlled rooms
• Two ASTM C 666 freeze-thaw chambers
• De-icer salt scaling testing
• Accelerated
• Natural “field” exposure
• Drying shrinkage testing
