After the formal conference ends, there is an optional event hosted by Dr. Fred Aguayo at Texas State University:
Dr. Fred Aguayo would like to cordially invite everyone attending the conference to tour the Laboratory for Concrete Materials Research Laboratory located at the Texas State University campus in San Marcos, TX.
Dr. Fred Aguayo is an Assistant Professor in Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program housed in the Department of Engineering Technology at TXST. His research group focuses on durability and chemical deterioration of concrete, and the use of sustainable and innovative materials in producing high- and ultra-high performance concrete. The Concrete Materials laboratory at Texas State was originally setup in 2009. Since its inception, the laboratory has installed and completed over $1,000,000 in renovations and installation of state-of-the-art equipment. With over 5,000 sq. ft. of dedicated working space, the laboratory is equipped to characterize, test, and evaluate various cement-based materials for a wide variety of applications including buildings and transportation infrastructure. The laboratory provides advanced tools and expertise for the pursuit of industrial and academic research.
There is no cost for this tour, but please register here.
