Durability Study of Type II Cements, MLR-71-03 and R-247, 1971

A study of type II cements at the Iowa State Highway Commission concluded that the amount of tricalcium aluminate in the cement appears to have an inverse effect on concrete durability. This conclusion agrees with the results of the Kansas Highway Department's study to determine the combination of cement and aggregate which would produce the best possible durability factor. This study is a result of the questions raised following the completion of the project at the Iowa State Highway Commission. This project is being conducted on a larger scale so. that more definite conclusions can be drawn. The purpose of this project is to determine if the amount of tricalcium aluminate in type II cements has an inverse effect on the durability of concrete.

An Adaptive Field Detection Method For Bridge Scour Monitoring Using Motion-Sensing Radio Transponders (RFIDs), TR-617, 2014

A comprehensive field detection method is proposed that is aimed at developing advanced capability for reliable monitoring, inspection and life estimation of bridge infrastructure. The goal is to utilize Motion-Sensing Radio Transponders (RFIDS) on fully adaptive bridge monitoring to minimize the problems inherent in human inspections of bridges. We developed a novel integrated condition-based maintenance (CBM) framework integrating transformative research in RFID sensors and sensing architecture, for in-situ scour monitoring, state-of-the-art computationally efficient multiscale modeling for scour assessment.

An Investigation of the Chemical Method of Determining the Cement Content of Hardened Concrete, MLR-71-01 and R-248, 1971

The Iowa State Highway Commission Laboratory is called upon to determine the cement content of hardened concrete when field problems relating to batch weights are encountered. The standard test for determining the cement content is ASTM C-85. An investigation of this method by the New Jersey State Highway Department involving duplicate samples and four cooperating laboratories produced very erratic results, however, the results obtained by this method have not been directly compared to known cement contents of concrete made with various cements and various aggregates used in Iowa.
