Project Basics

Project Sponsor: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Awarded: $3,320.00

Grant Awarded: Fall 2025

Project Status: Complete

Project Description 

b) The goal of the project is to develop recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) that have a high self-healing capacity while retaining mechanical properties for implementation in construction projects in order to reduce carbon emissions and material waste. Once we have an RCA that satisfies parameters we will develop replicable and cost effective procedures that can be used in industry.
