​Summary: This project aim to develop mechanical splice technology for reinforcing bars composed of non-conventional materials such as high-strength steel and fiber reinforced polymers (FRP). The project includes product development, experimental testing, and evaluation of structural behavior. This project also aims to spur economic growth in Florida thanks to funds provided by the Florida High Tech Corridor.

​Summary: Fiber orientation in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a critical factor that relates to both material- and structural-level behavior. This research aims to explore electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to determine fiber orientation and fiber volume in UHPC-class materials. This project is a collaboration with Dr. Chris Alexander and the USF Corrosion Lab.
