A Targeted Approach To High-Volume Fly Ash Concrete Pavement (Phase I), Sen Du, Xianming Shi Dec 2018

A Targeted Approach To High-Volume Fly Ash Concrete Pavement (Phase I), Sen Du, Xianming Shi

CESTiCC Project Reports

Unlike the conventional method of admixing nanomaterials directly in fresh concrete mixture, a more targeted approach was explored. Specifically, nanomaterials were used to improve the interface between coarse aggregate and cement paste, by coating the coarse aggregate with cement paste that contained graphene oxide or nanosilica. Using coated coarse aggregates, the mechanical and transport properties of high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete were tested to evaluate the effect of nanomaterial coating on the interface transition zone of concrete. The compressive and splitting strengths of HVFA concrete at 3, 7, 14, and 28 days and the water sorptivity and chloride migration coefficient …

Environmentally Friendly Pervious Concrete For Treating Deicer-Laden Stormwater: Phase Ii, Gang Xu, Xianming Shi Dec 2018

Environmentally Friendly Pervious Concrete For Treating Deicer-Laden Stormwater: Phase Ii, Gang Xu, Xianming Shi

CESTiCC Project Reports

In Phase I of this project, graphene oxide (GO)-modified pervious concrete was developed using coal fly ash as the sole binder. The primary objectives of Phase II of this project were (1) to evaluate the stormwater infiltration capacity of GO-modified fly ash pervious concrete; (2) to evaluate the durability performance of GO-modified fly ash pervious concrete using freeze/thaw and salt resistance testing methods; and (3) to use advanced analytical tools to fully characterize the GO-modified fly ash binder. Test results indicate different degrees of reduction in concentrations of possible pollutants in stormwater—copper, zinc, sulphate, chloride, ammonia, nitrate, and total phosphate. …

The research goal was to better understand how these courts are evaluated, the strength of those evaluation processes, and to determine what, if any, changes can and should be made to strengthen them. Presently, there are not any standardized evaluations tools for DUI treatment courts. This research concludes that evaluations should be standardized and such standardization will allow …
