Background
Professor Doug Hooton is the NSERC/CAC Industrial Research Chair in Concrete Durability and Sustainability. His research involves finding ways to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with concrete infrastructure. He investigates the use of materials such as supplementary cementitious materials and ground limestone to produce a stronger and more durable concrete product. His research has informed the specification codes associated with the American Concrete Institute, the Canadian Standards Association and ASTM standards.
Research Interests
Concrete durability and service life: permeability, pore structure, chloride ingress, and moisture content
Alkali aggregate reactions
Sulfate resistance
De-icer salt scaling resistance
Properties of ancient concrete materials
Physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of Portland cements, supplementary cementing materials, admixtures
Cement-admixture interactions
Performance standards and specifications for concrete
