Office:	Office of Infrastructure Research and Development
Team:	Pavement Materials Team
Roadmap/Focus area(s):	Infrastructure Research and Technology Strategic Plan and Roadmap
Project Description:	Use of fibers to mitigate the formation of alkali-silica reactivity (ASR) gels in and corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete. Use of recycled concrete aggregate.
Laboratories:	Not Applicable
Start Date:	July 1, 2011
End Date:	June 30, 2014
Funding Amount:	$499,312.00
FHWA Program Name:	Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center
Goals:	To demonstrate that incorporation of steel and polymer fibers in concrete will mitigate alkali-silica reactivity (ASR) gel formation on corrosion of reinforcing steel. This project also uses recycled concrete as an aggregate in fresh concrete.
