Evaluation of Recycled Waste as Alternate Cementitious Materials

Project Description

This project is intended to understand the impacts of the waste materials such as fly-ash (FA), bottom ash, sewage sludge ash (SSA), solid waste incinerator ash, slags (scrap metals), and other waste materials, as an alternate cementitious material in Portland cement concrete (PCC) mixtures that are commonly used in engineering constructions. These materials can be used for partial replacement of cement in the PCC. The project focuses specifically on how the performance of PCC may change with the varying types and dosages of recycled waste materials collected from local recycling facilities/industries. 

Research Requirements

Required GPA to qualify for CE 4400. However, students can work on the project without course credit. Junior or senior with GPA of 3.5 (lower GPA can be accepted with waiver) will qualify for CE 4400.
