Rate My Professor Rackel San Nicolas

Her investigations cover the design and development of construction materials, macrostructure analysis, and durability assessments involving permeability, porosity, carbonation, chloride migration, and corrosion. She has developed multiple techniques to evaluate and predict the durability of current and future construction materials in various environments. The group under her leadership also engages in consulting projects. San Nicolas has authored numerous publications, including 'Effect of calcined clay reactivity on the risk of restrained shrinkage-induced early-age concrete cracking' (2025), 'Investigating Australian Calcined Clays as Supplementary Cementitious Materials' (2025), 'Autogenous and Chemical Shrinkage of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) Pastes' (2025), 'The Interfacial Transition Zone in Alkali-Activated Slag Mortars' (2015), and 'The Cross-Linked Substituted Tobermorite Model' (2013). Her scholarly output has received over 7,500 citations, underscoring her influence in advancing sustainable civil engineering materials.
