Project description

The primary objective of this research project is to perform non-destructive testing to evaluate the condition of a low-permeable concrete structure decks and ramp (the old SLC Int'l Airport parking structure). Secondary objectives of this research project are to validate the service life prediction for the structure using Life-365 corrosion prediction software and evaluate pozzolans (specifically silica fume) as additives in concrete for achieving similar low-permeable concrete mixtures in future structures.
