Professor Konstantin Sobolev, civil & environmental engineering, was a guest on the show, “Wisconsin Today,” on Wisconsin Public Radio on Aug. 8. He discussed the new NSF-supported Concrete Advancement Network, an academic-industry research collaborative focusing on sustainable and high-performance concrete.
He discussed how to improve concrete’s sustainability and described two research projects his lab is working on: a protective coating that lengthens concrete’s service life, and “smart” concrete that can remotely signal when deterioration is occurring.
