Materials and Construction
The study of innovative ways to enhance the performance and longevity of materials and construction techniques is of major interest to Georgia Tech engineers. Research on areas such as bridge coatings, asphalt concrete and asphalt binders, portland cement concrete, high-performance materials for bridge construction, and waste and byproduct materials are of vital importance to the transportation industry. Construction technology and innovation in nondestructive and noninvasive applications, accelerated construction technology and work zone management are also prevalent areas of research.
