Title:
Development of Sustainable Reinforced Concrete Poles/ Posts for supporting farming practices in North America
Agreement Number:
990285
Agreement Value:
$48,762.00
Agreement Date:
May 16, 2022 - Dec 30, 2022
Description:
Develop environment-friendly and sustainable concrete poles for supporting farming practices in North America by using alternate reinforcements such as BFRP and reducing the use of Portland cement by replacing it with post consumer waste materials such as glass. The newly developed concrete poles would require less labor for its production when compared to traditional concrete poles that are reinforced with steel rebars; and would have a much higher service life compared to the wooden poles used by many farmers. Additionally, the reduction of the use of Portland cement on a large scale will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
