  20. Transportation Materials Student Competitions

  21. Transportation Materials Student Competitions

  22. Transportation Materials Student Competitions

  23. Are Aggregates & HMA Important?

  24. What about PCC? U.S. Concrete Production in 2004 was 430,500,000 cubic yards Tennessee 2004 Concrete Production was 6,888,000 cubic yards

  25. L. K. Crouch, Current Research

  26. Ben Mohr, Current Research

  27. We are Making Materials Greener (Actually More Environmentally Friendly but we can also color materials green) While Enhancing Material Performance

  28. We Helped Rewrite the Book on CLSM Now FHWA wants us to keep on Going and Going

  29. Get Your Hands Dirty -It’s Fun

  30. Be Part of a Winning Team!(Students Working on Federal Funded CLSM Research)

  31. Transportation Materials & Geotechnical • It’s Fun • It’s Changing the World • Is it the most important part of Civil & Environmental Engineering? • Obviously (and that’s an unbiased opinion) • Just try constructing something without materials! • Enjoy the lab tours & contact us if we can be of assistance: • L. K. Crouch, 372-3196 or lcrouch@tntech.edu • Ben Mohr, 372-3546 or bmohr@tntech.edu
