MPC Research Reports Filter by Keyword17 report(s) found with durability in the keywords field In recent years, major initiatives have been taken to replace non-renewable materials with environmentally friendly and sustainable ones. The present study was undertaken to apply a scalable process for laboratory production of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and to evaluate the feasibility of using the produced... Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is distinguished by its superior mechanical and durability properties. These characteristics are attained through a precise mixture design that includes a low water-to-cement ratio, high fineness supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), and steel fibers. This... Pavements in cold regions of the United States undergo significant accumulation of snow and ice on their surfaces during the extended winter season, leading to reduced skid resistance and increased traffic crashes. Deicers, such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride, have been... This research explores the influence of thermo-mechanical beneficiation methods on the physicochemical characteristics and reactivity of fly ashes disposed of in landfills (LFAs) obtained from power plants in Wyoming and Colorado, USA. An in-depth assessment was conducted on the mechanical and performance... Current electric vehicles (EVs) suffer from several drawbacks that prevent widespread public acceptance. Inductive power transfer systems (IPTS) seek to address range and battery life issues by allowing EVs to charge while in transit. This advancement would allow future infrastructure to meet rising... Several types of tack coats are used in South Dakota for asphalt pavement construction projects. This study was conducted to determine the effects of application rate, surface type, texture, moisture, and freeze-thaw on the early-age performance of three tack coat emulsions applied on four surface types... The Rocky Mountain Region has experienced considerable difficulty because of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete construction. Wyoming Department of Transportation was successful in using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) on Interstate I-80 with limited ASR damage. Reusing concrete from demolition... Moisture-induced damage (stripping) is a major distress in asphalt pavements. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of chemical Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) additives, Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), Anti-Stripping Agent (ASA), and hydrated lime on moisture-induced damage potential of asphalt... Fourteen Thin Lift Treatments (TLTs) in Utah's Department of Transportation (UDOT) Region 2 were evaluated over a five-year period in order to assess their performance. Surface distress data was quantified using Pavement Condition Indices (PCIs), and Remaining Service Life (RSL) were estimated following... An experimental research study was conducted to develop optimized concrete mixtures for jointed plain concrete (JPC) pavements and field evaluation of newly constructed JPC pavement sections along South Dakota highways.
Using South Dakota aggregates, different concrete mixtures were assessed for optimum...
