Transforming Waste Glass into Value: Ground-Glass SCMs in Portland Cement Concrete
All industry, faculty, students and staff are welcome to this technical seminar held via Zoom on Friday, April 10 at 12 pm CST.
Dr. Prasad Rangaraju is a Professor of Civil Engineering at Clemson University and Director of the the Sustainable Materials Research and Technology (SMART) Lab. His expertise focuses on cementitious materials, supplementary cementitious materials, specialty concretes, and low-carbon concrete technologies. Before joining Clemson, he served as a Senior Research Engineer with the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Dr. Rangaraju holds a Ph.D. from Purdue University, is a registered Professional Engineer, an ACI Fellow, and has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications while contributing to ASTM and AASHTO standards.
Dr. Rangaraju’s talk will cover the scientific basis for glass-based pozzolans, including their influence on hydration kinetics, fresh-state rheology, and long-term mechanical and durability properties. It will also discuss emerging research, field applications, and the evolving role of ground-glass SCMs as a viable and scalable component of next-generation concrete materials.
