This dissertation will present an evaluation framework, using material from California as a case study, to prioritize the adoption of SCM by concurrently considering (1) material performance, (2) resource availability, and (3) environmental impact reduction.
Insights from material flow analysis, material performance, and environmental impacts were coupled together to evaluate alternative mineral flows in comparison to conventional mineral admixtures (i.e., fly ash, GBFS, limestone, metakaolin, and silica fumes).
This research will create a comprehensive and streamlined framework that empowers Caltrans to efficiently identify and assess technically sound, environmentally sustainable, and economically feasible materials.
California's first conference on the design and construction of sustainable long-life concrete pavement will feature industry professionals, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss advances in the field.
