Project 1.12: Improved UAV-Based Structural Inspection Techniques and Technologies for Northeast Bridges

Improved UAV-Based Structural Inspection Techniques and Technologies for Northeast Bridges Project 1.12 Project Summary Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or “drones” are revolutionizing some basic reconnaissance, including structural inspections. This project seeks to enhance and expand the range of applications for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to aid inspection of transportation structures. This project is primarily aimed […]

Project C20.2020: Advanced Sensing Technologies for Practical UAV-Based Condition Assessment

Advanced Sensing Technologies for Practical UAV-Based Condition Assessment Project C20.2020 Project Summary The problem we are trying to investigate is the synergistic application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with active acoustic sensing (AAS) and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for the underside inspection of bridge decks. The problem is important because that employing such UAV-AAS-SAR system […]

Project 2.02: Concrete Systems for a 100-Year Design Life

Concrete Systems for a 100-Year Design Life Project 2.2 Project Summary The overall objective is to develop a suite of highly durable concrete systems suitable for a range of transportation infrastructure applications, given the range of constituent availability (e.g. appropriate aggregates, supplementary cementitious materials), conventions for structural details, and typical New England exposure conditions ranging […]

Project C07.2018: Alternative Cementitious Materials (ACMs) For Durable and Sustainable Transportation Infrastructures

Alternative Cementitious Materials (ACMs) For Durable and Sustainable Transportation Infrastructures Project C7.2018 Project Summary Concrete produced with Alternative Cementitious Materials (ACMs) often exhibits superior mechanical performances and lower carbon footprint compared to those produced with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). ACMs also allow utilizing high-volume of industrial by-products as the binding materials instead of OPC, thus […]
