Internally-Cured Low-Cracking High-Performance Concrete (IC-LC-HPC) Bridge Decks: Durability and Cracking Performance
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2023-01)The laboratory portion of this study investigates the effects of internal curing (IC) water in pre-wetted lightweight aggregates (LWA) between 8.2 and 9.0% and between 12.0 and 13.1% by weight of binder and total internal ... -
Evaluation of Cracking Performance of Bridge Decks Incorporating Nonmetallic Fibers
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2022-07)The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) identified 20 monolithic (onecourse) bridge decks, constructed between 2015 and 2018, for cracking surveys to investigate the effectiveness of nonmetallic fibers in reducing ... -
Chloride Content and Carbonation of KU Memorial Stadium Cores
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2022-08)Three cores were taken from KU Memorial Stadium on 08/17/22 by personnel from Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates and analyzed for water-soluble chloride content and depth of carbonation. Cores A4 and B4 were taken from ... -
Low-Shrinkage Ultra-High-Performance Concrete
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2022-08)Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has been used increasingly in the past decade due to its high strength, rapid strength gain, and enhanced durability. UHPC is a cement-based material that typically has a low w/cm ... -
Rapid Macrocell Tests of 2304 Reinforcing Bars
