On Friday October 24th, 2014, CPATT and the Norman W. McLeod Chair in Sustainable Pavement Engineering hosted the 4th annual Graduate Student Poster Symposium in the E5 Sedra Student Design Centre at the University of Waterloo. There were a total of 17 student posters. Industry members, faculty, staff and students attended this event and were able to provide great feedback to the students. Congratulations to the winners for the best posters and interesting research. First place went to Tim Bandura for his research on the evaluation of the proposed European rapid screening test for stainless steel rebar. The two runners up were Marcelo Gonzalez for his research on nanotechnology applied in the design of the next generation of concrete pavement surface, and to Sina Varamini for his research on the evaluation of modified mixtures for use in pavement applications.
Thank you to all the students that participated in this event, the industry members who attended and a special thank you to our three judges: Bart Kanters (RMCAO), Sandy Brown (OHMPA), and David Rhead (MTO). Some pictures of the event are below:
