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.
