Project description

Develop innovative mechanistic-based procedures for monitoring concrete early age development and evaluate the effect of early traffic opening on long-term damage accumulation. The procedure will utilize recent developments in nondestructive testing to optimize traffic opening timing without jeopardizing pavement longevity.
