Concrete preview

Concrete Innovation Lab

Summary

Developing next-generation alternative binders and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and performance-based approaches for formulating durable and climate-adaptive concrete mixes.

Connected preview

Connected Infrastructure Lab

Summary

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.

Smart grids preview

Control Room Lab

Summary

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.

Soils preview

Geotechnical and Unbound Materials

Summary

Use existing or locally available soils, unbound or treated bases, and recycled materials in challenging operational environments to provide durable, resilient pavement layer solutions.

Intelligent preview

Intelligent Infrastructure Assessment Lab

Summary

Development of smart structures, including structural health monitoring techniques and techniques for quantitative nondestructive testing.

Corrosion preview

National Corrosion and Materials Reliability Lab

Summary

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.

Shield Lab for Infrastructure Protection

Summary

The Shield Lab for Infrastructure Protection is aimed at enabling unique high-rate materials characterization and multiscale numerical model development and implementation.

Structural preview

Structural and Materials Testing

Summary

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.
