Researchers have discovered a method of recycling earthquake debris into quality concrete. Now they want to help Haitians do it on a mass scale.
In the academic world of scientific inquiry, it usually takes more than a decade for results to be implemented in a concrete way that affects everyday people. For a team of civil engineering researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, this process is happening faster. Led by Haiti-born professor Reginald DesRoches, they've discovered that Haiti's huge quantities of rubble can be recycled and mixed by hand into sturdy concrete that meets or exceeds construction standards. Thirteen months after an earthquake shook Haiti, many buildings still lie pancaked where seismic waves felled them Jan. 12, 2010. The amount of debris, some moved and dumped into the ocean or on river beds, is staggering. Just how much rubble is difficult to …
