Microwave Heating Process to Demolish Concrete Structures

Funding Agency: Army Corps of Engineering/ERDC-CRREL

Abstract: This project studies rapid microwave thermal process to accelerate demolition, recycle and repair concrete structures. The success of the project would revolutionize the repair and maintenance of the structures by introducing new technology with higher efficiency (time and cost) compared to the conventional methods and assisting agencies to repair and put facilities back to service sooner than current methods.
