Toy PooleSenior Principal Scientist; Austin, TX Office
Dr. Poole has over 30 years of experience in chemistry and materials consulting. He specializes in chemical reactions in cementitious material, including concrete properties, alkali-aggregate reactions, concrete curing, troubleshooting early slump loss and setting time problems and failure analysis of concrete in structures, as well as the statistical analysis of data. He has been an active member of ASTM since 1985 and is currently a member of the ASTM International board of directors, where he develops internationally-accepted test methods and specification standards.
Prior to joining CTLGroup, Dr. Poole served as a chemist in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center. There, he analyzed damaged concrete structures, researched hydration reactions and concrete workability, studied the damaging effects of salts on concrete in waste disposal and managed the Corps’ cement and pozzolan testing facility. He has also had experience working as a biochemistry research associate, analytical chemist and electronics engineer.
Dr. Poole holds two patents and has written numerous papers and reports related to cementitious materials.
