Graduate Thesis:
My graduate thesis is titled
"Smart Materials and Additives" and it consists of three
parts. The first part is focused on identifying new materials that could
be incorporated in the design of both flexible and rigid pavements. The
second part is the design of an experimental procedure for accurate
measurement of thermal expansion values of Portland Cement Concrete (PCC).
The last part of this research is the experimental reduction of the
coefficient of thermal expansion (COTE) of concrete by addition of Zirconium
Tungstate (ZrW2O8), an unusual material that exhibits
negative coefficient of thermal expansion. The research was sponsored by
Texas DOT.
