This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) grant awarded to the University of Texas at Austin for $549,999 on August 15, 2024 will fund research to develop methods for assessing the safety and integrity of existing reinforced concrete structures. The project will investigate the synergistic effects of corrosion, alkali-silica reaction, and freeze-thaw cycles on concrete structure performance, integrating material-level and structural-level analysis to provide a robust framework for concrete structure assessment. The research aims to enable more informed societal risk and hazard mitigation assessments for aging concrete infrastructure. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
