AREN 4830 - Sustainable Materials and Structures
Concrete Mixing and Testing
Course: AREN 4830 -Sustainable Materials and Structures
Year: 2018
Participants: Students andGraduate Teacher, Jay Arehart
Summary: Students developed concrete mix designs optimized for strength, cost, and sustainability. They alsoemployed a variety of strategies to minimize the environmental impacts of their concretes such as using supplementary cementitious materials and recycled concrete aggregates. After designing their mixtures, the students mixed their concrete and cast cylinders that were testing for their ultimate compressive strength. The CIEST lab served as a resource for the students tolearnabout concrete mix designs and their environmental impacts.
