Adding Texture Could Potentially Raise the Bar on Bridge Longevity

University of Illinois researchers and Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) staff are leading a series of research studies to improve the overall longevity of bridges.

Concrete Solutions for Concrete Problems

Concrete is all around us and it can be molded into many different shapes. It is used in many structures such as buildings, roads, and bridges to name a few.

Urban Heat Islands Studied within a Pavement LCA Framework

Urbanization has caused artificially created surfaces to replace open land and vegetation. This led the once permeable and soft surfaces to absorb and store more heat while retaining very little moisture, thus raising their surface temperatures and causing urban areas to become warmer than the surrounding rural area. This phenomenon has been called the Urban […]

Researcher Spotlight: Spencer’s Sensors

New Drilled-Shaft Design to Improve Safety, Save Money

There are thousands of bridges in the State of Illinois that connect us to where we need to go. Much of what makes these structures able to safely carry the load of your vehicle, and thousands of other cars and trucks every day, lives underground. A bridge needs a good foundation to not subside or […]
