High Performance Cementitious Materials to Advance Expedient Repair

ABSTRACT Research will focus on the development of three targeted technologies: 1) Rapid setting high performance sprayable concrete to provide strength-enhanced structures and instant repair of damaged structures; 2) Advanced concrete materials for instant barrier walls and structural elements; and 3) Calcium sulfoaluminate applications for runway repairs. Each of these technologies will enhance the mobilization and deployment of the American military in areas with heavily damaged, limited, or nonexistent infrastructure. Additionally, the proposed project seeks to develop an educational partnership with the United States Army Engineer Research and Development Center with purpose to encourage and enhance study in the disciplines of civil engineering, mechanical engineer, geological science, and blast engineering. 1 of 4
