Performance assessment of repurposed concrete in water asset pipes

Summary

Supervisor

Professor Marjorie Valix.

Research location

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

Synopsis

This scholarship will support in-service field testing to verify the performance of pre-commercial prototypes of high performing specialty and waste repurposed concrete as civil infrastructure assets, specifically as water asset pipes. This will involve using advanced material and analytical methods and sensing to understand the durability and service life of the assets both though lab and field testing. Learnings will be used to support the development of material specification and codes of practice for use of specialty concrete and waste repurposed concrete in construction of civil infrastructure in the water industry.  

How to Apply:
