The Concrete and Pavement Challenge
Roman, Harry T.
Technology and Engineering Teacher, v72 n3 p38-39 Nov 2012
The modern world is characterized by the extensive use of concrete and asphalt pavement. Periodically, these materials are replaced and the old materials disposed of. In this challenge, students will be asked to develop ways to reuse the old materials. It is important for students to understand how concrete and asphalt are made and applied, as there may be suggestions in the manufacturing process that hold keys to how both products could be made into recyclable materials.
