00:00:08,041 --> 00:00:10,624
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:24,606 --> 00:00:27,189
(gentle music)

3
00:00:59,650 --> 00:01:00,610
- We're here at Treat Island today,

4
00:01:00,610 --> 00:01:01,830
because we brought some concrete,

5
00:01:01,830 --> 00:01:04,090
that we poured in
subfreezing temperatures.

6
00:01:04,090 --> 00:01:06,920
And we're gonna see how the
long term durability looks

7
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,080
when it's in this natural
weathering exposure site

8
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,430
at Treat Island.

9
00:01:10,430 --> 00:01:13,010
So, here at Treat Island, it's salt water,

10
00:01:13,010 --> 00:01:14,580
freezing temperatures, things like that.

11
00:01:14,580 --> 00:01:17,250
So we're gonna see how our
concrete holds up over time.

12
00:01:17,250 --> 00:01:19,480
We brought both, bars and cylinders today,

13
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,010
so we're gonna be measuring

14
00:01:21,010 --> 00:01:23,870
the length change of the bars
over time, as the years go by.

15
00:01:23,870 --> 00:01:24,850
And then, we brought cylinders,

16
00:01:24,850 --> 00:01:27,810
so we can see how the strength
changes over time as well.

17
00:01:27,810 --> 00:01:30,490
This experiment could
last for 10, 20 years

18
00:01:30,490 --> 00:01:34,360
until our samples either
degrade or hold up over time.

19
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,270
So we're basically just
here to put some stuff out

20
00:01:36,270 --> 00:01:38,344
and to see how things go
over the next few years.

21
00:01:38,344 --> 00:01:41,011
