Spring 2021: Using a new TDR methodology to estimate material properties of cement paste and concrete mix

Affiliations:
Project Leader: Issa Issa
issa@tamu.edu
Civil Engineering
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Dan Zollinger, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
TBA
Team Size:
7
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Undergraduate students can envision publishing at least one Journal paper and attending the Transportation Research Board (TRB) annual meeting 2022 or/and the ACI Fall 2021 convention
Team Needs:
Concrete mixing and lab work experiences are preferable but not mandatory
Description:
Evaluating the short and long term behavior of concrete depends on the early age characteristics. In this research, undergraduate researchers will use a newly developed Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) methodology to estimate the fresh and hardened concrete properties non-destructively. The main objectives of this research activity are to i) estimate the moisture content and the degree of hydration of cement paste and concrete mix at an early age, ii) establish moisture profile for various cement and concrete samples, and iii) evaluate the mechanical properties of concrete mixes
