This image shows a roadway constructed using municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) ash from Pasco County as a recycled aggregate. The material, produced from the combustion of solid waste, is processed and repurposed as a base or structural layer in pavement systems. This approach promotes sustainable infrastructure by reducing landfill waste while providing a viable […]

This image shows specimens after undergoing a Charpy impact test in our lab. This test evaluates the toughness of materials by measuring their ability to absorb energy during sudden impact. The fractured samples illustrate the difference between brittle behavior, where materials break abruptly with little deformation, and ductile behavior, where materials deform significantly before failure.
