Texas A&M University
Development of advanced materials characterization, nondestructive evaluation and computational modeling of infrastructure materials.
Creates new opportunities to revolutionize infrastructure materials and manufacturing by taking advantage of rapid evolutions in robotics, additive manufacturing, and computation.
Developing next-generation asphalt binders and mixtures that are environmentally friendly and provide cost-effective solutions to the ever expanding need to build and maintain our roads and highways.
Developing next-generation alternative binders and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and performance-based approaches for formulating durable and climate-adaptive concrete mixes.
Collaborative work space where different disciplines work together to develop, test and deploy next generation sensors and data applications for the connected and automated vehicle environment, allowing vehicles and infrastructure to “talk” to each other and communicate their real-time conditions.
Use existing or locally available soils, unbound or treated bases, and recycled materials in challenging operational environments to provide durable, resilient pavement layer solutions.
Develops advanced assessment techniques for aging infrastructure with a focus on structural systems, evaluation/improvement of current design standards to improve national specifications, and addressing Texas infrastructure problems.
The Hypervelocity Impact Lab (HVIL), also known as the Shield Lab, for Infrastructure Protection is aimed at enabling unique high-rate materials characterization and multiscale numerical model development and implementation.
Development of smart structures, including structural health monitoring techniques and techniques for quantitative nondestructive testing.
Our Nano-Micro Characterization lab provides key capabilities to develop/design innovative materials and to engineer/advance existing materials for various infrastructure systems.
Provides solutions to the corrosion needs of industry and government to preserve and extend the integrity of the structures, such as buildings, bridges, pipelines, roads, ports and off-shore platforms.
With a primary focus on robotics & remote sensing AI/ML, researchers in the lab contribute innovative methods, data, and engineering systems to study infrastructure performance and asset management.
This Testbed is being developed with an innovative vision of a large-scale, seamlessly integrated Power System Control Center of the future, to ensure the reliability, sustainability, and security of the electric energy supply.
