Description
This report presents the development of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) using locally available materials that reduce construction costs compared with commercial products. With the aim of achieving a specified compressive strength of 20 ksi, a UHPC mixture is formulated. The implications of various constituent types are examined with an emphasis on silica compounds (silica fume, silica powder, silica sand, finer silica sand, pyrogenic silica,...

Description
This report presents a case study on the evaluation of bridge decks using various non-destructive test methods. The primary interest lies in quantifying delaminated areas in deck concrete covered with asphalt overlays. Analytical and computational models are formulated to decompose the intensity of GPR scales into two categories: i) initiation and progression of corrosion and ii) delamination of deck concrete, which show good agreement...
