Overview
The Use of Recovered Toner Powder to Enhance Durability, Engineering and Sustainability Performance of Structural Concrete Elements project is offered by University of Dundee .
The working life of reinforced/prestressed concrete elements is often determined by serviceability limit state which is governed by the movement of harmful moisture into the structure and propagating/initiating corrosion of steel reinforcement.
Educational Opportunity
Recovered toner powder (RTP) is a highly engineered hydrophobic waste material currently being sent to landfill (approximately 5000 tonnes per annum, classified as hazardous due to its fine particle) which has the potential to modify the water resistance of concrete and provide a greater performance level.
