Direct three dimensional observation of the microstructure and chemistry of C3S hydration
Hu, Qinang (2015-12)Although portland cement has been used for over a hundred years as the binder in concrete, the basic mechanism of hydration is still not well understood. Progress has been halted for the fact that it is challenging for ... -
Diversity and inclusion of women in the construction industry
King-Lewis, Amy (2020-12)The construction industry has been growing for many years and is expected to continue expanding over the next decade. However, it has experienced a concurrent "widespread and significant shortage" in workers over the past ... -
Investigation of the Freeze Thaw Durability of Alternative Cementitious Materials
Peery, Jacob Ray (2017-07-01)Currently there is little known about the long-term freeze thaw durability of ACMs. There are no established limits for air content or other durability parameters for most ACMs. For ACMs to be used in structural and ... -
Investigation of the Quality Control of Waste Products for Concrete
Lloyd, Zane (2019-05)This work uses testing for the quality of waste products in the production of concrete. This work will look at two different waste products. The first is Pulp Cure, a recently developed method for wet curing concrete. The ... -
Mixture Design to Mitigate Bridge Deck Cracking
Rai, Bijaya Laxmi (2017-07-01)The main concern of this study is to develop different mixture designs that help to mitigate bridge deck cracking. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) supported this research project. This study correlates ... -
Pumpability of Optimized Grade Aggregates
Seader, John N. (2016-05-01)This work validates the gradation boundaries presented by Dr. M. Daniel Cook in his 2015 dissertation. A large variety of concrete gradations were pumped through a pipeline and their pressures were measured, analyzed, and ... -
Shrinkage Induced Deformations in Composite Steel and Concrete Bridges
Abdelmeguid, Ibrahim Sabri (2015-05-01)Concrete decks cast on steel bridge girders experience volume change beginning immediately after taking initial set. Volume changes in concrete result from temperature changes, creep or drying shrinkage of concrete. Shrinkage ...
