FUNDED PROJECTS
U.S. National
Science Foundation (NSF)-CMMI - 0900015 Collaborative
Research: Understanding Mechanism of Internal Frost-Induced Damage of Concrete
from Microstructure Aspects;
Principal Investigators: Qingli Dai, and Zhanping You. Collaborated
with Dr. Xiong Yu, Department of
Civil Engineering, Case Western Reserve University.
This project
integrates research and education to advance the state of knowledge of the
mechanism of frost-induced damage in
Portland cement concrete under freeze-thaw cycles. The primary objective
of this research project is to combine expertise in microstructure-based
computational modeling and innovative sensor technologies to study the
fundamental mechanisms of frost damage in concrete. Research will include the
experimental characterization of concrete microstructure across different
length scales, the development of an innovative Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)
sensor to accurately determine the freeze-thaw status, and the formulation and
validation of a frost-induced damage model.
This research is expected to result in a model that can clearly and
concisely describe the damage that frost can inflict in concrete. This model will provide a valuable tool to
assess the potential success of various frost damage prevention strategies and
products.
U.S. National
Science Foundation (NSF)- CMMI – 0900582 Microfluidic
Fabrication of Autonomic Healing Microfiber; Principal Investigators:
Desheng Meng, Qingli Dai, and Zhanping You
The
primary objective of this research is to explore microfluidic encapsulation
methods to fabricate self-healing microfibers with unprecedented morphology
control and material flexibility. Currently, spherical microcapsules, prepared
by emulsification processes, account for the limited
availability of healing agent and lack of multi-cycle healing capability.
Self-healing microfibers are proposed to provide better healing performance
with lower concentration and multiple healing capabilities. Microfluidic
encapsulation will be investigated to generate elongated compound droplets as
self-healing microfibers and gain better understanding on the control of the
fabrication process. The proposed micro-encapsulator is expected to become a
fabrication platform to systematically investigate the impact of microcapsule
size and morphology on the bulk property of self-healing composite, which
hasn’t been adequately supported by the existing fabrication methods. The
micromechanical modeling and testing methods are expected to further our
understanding on this fundamental issue and provide a guideline for the design
of future self-healing systems.
U.S. National
Science Foundation (NSF) -CMMI 0936726 EAGER: Using
Nonmetals Separated from E-Waste and Waste Plastic Bags in Improving the
Mechanical Properties of Asphalt Materials. Principal Investigator:
Zhanping You
The objective of
this EAGER project is to investigate the possibility of improving the
mechanical properties of asphalt materials with the use of nonmetals separated
from E-waste (e.g., computers, monitors, keyboard, cameras, TVs, etc.) and
waste plastic bags (e.g., grocery bags). E-waste and waste plastic bags are
recycled materials that have potential to be used in asphalt materials. The
research work will include shredding of the non-metallic separations and waste
plastic bags into powders and particles, mixing the powder-like polymers and particles
to modify selected asphalt materials in the laboratory, and evaluation of the
mechanical properties of the modified asphalt.
U.S. National
Science Foundation (NSF) -OISE 0929619 U.S.-Malaysia
Planning Visit: Collaborative Research on the Micromechanics of Cubic Stone
Materials for Pavements. Principal Investigator: Zhanping You
This award supports
the participation of an American researcher, graduate student and undergraduate
students in the planning visit which will take place in Malaysia. The visit
will enable Professor Zhanping You in the Civil Engineering Department at
Michigan Technology University to meet with Professor Meor Othman Hamzah in the
School of Civil Engineering at the University Sains Malaysia (USM) in Penang.
This collaboration will advance discovery and understanding of cubic-stone
materials micromechanics, while promoting teaching, training, and learning
through the specific activities planned for the students.

Evaluation of Warm Mix Asphalt. Principal Investigator: Zhanping You
This project is sponsored
by the Federal Highway Administration Passes through Michigan Department of
Transportation. This project will aim the evaluation of WMA in Michigan weather
conditions. The objectives are (1) evaluate the engineering properties of WMA
binders and mixes and the field performance of pavements constructed with WMA
technologies and (2) determine relative measures of performance between WMA and
conventional HMA pavements in Michigan.

Federal Highway Administration
through Michigan Department of Transportation: Development of
Specifications for the Superpave Simple Performance Tests. Principal
Investigator: Zhanping You
This project will develop the
simple performance standard for asphalt mixture in terms of dynamic modulus and
phase angles under dynamic loading. This research project will conduct a
laboratory testing to evaluate the five parameters for typical Michigan HMA
mixtures. Correlate the results of the laboratory study to field performance as
they relate to flexible pavement performance. This project is sponsored by
Michigan Department of Transportation (Federal Highway Administration pass
through).
U.S. National
Science Foundation (NSF) –CMMI #0701264: A Microstructure-Based Modeling Approach to
Characterize Asphalt Materials. Principal
Investigator: Zhanping You
This project will develop a
microstructure-based discrete element modeling approach to simulate asphalt
mixture materials. The discrete element method is used in this study to model
the microstructure of the aggregate-aggregate contact/interlock. It is anticipated that the implementation of
the models can be used to evaluate asphalt mixture material response and
performance to improve pavement materials and structural design. This project
is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Principal Investigator: Zhanping You

investigations by maintaining highly qualified technical staff and certified
laboratories. The specific areas of
focus include the behavior and performance of portland cement-based materials,
asphalt-based materials, unbound granular materials, and soils. The center
activities presented herein describe a three year plan for the continuation of
the TMRC. The main center activities
will continue to be applied research, education, and outreach, all in direct
support of MDOT’s mission. This project is sponsored
