The J. Sterling Jones Hydraulics Research Laboratory at the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA’s) Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center is part of the Office of Infrastructure Research and Development.
Through its unique capabilities and expertise, the Geotechnical Laboratory (GEO) supports the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Geotechnical Research Program, other disciplines, laboratories, and offices throughout the agency, as well as other organizations and agencies within
To provide state agencies and others with the tools to evaluate novel materials for implementation in concrete infrastructure.
Take a look at the recent projects we have worked on in the Concrete Lab!
The Coatings and Corrosion Laboratory (CCL) conducts research to advance the application of, and develop solutions for, corrosion prevention and mitigation for highway infrastructure.
The Chemistry Laboratory conducts fundamental studies of highway materials to understand both failure mechanisms and superior performance. New standard test methods are developed to improve and facilitate the chemical analysis of highway materials and to characterize and quantify new or alternative sustainable materials.
The Asphalt Binder and Mixtures Laboratory (ABML) conducts research on physical properties of paving materials such as flow, deformation, and fracture.
The Aggregate and Petrographic Laboratory (APL) at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) provides facilities for the evaluation, preparation, and testing of aggregate sources, products, and samples for use in concrete, asphalt mi
