TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1 - PLENARY LECTURES 8:00 – 10:40 a.m. ASM/TMS DISTINGUISHED LECTURESHIP IN MATERIALS AND SOCIETY The Challenge of 100 Year Service-life Requirement Carolyn M. Hansson, FASM, University of Waterloo, Canada The highway authorities in Canada and the U.S. are considering raising the service-life specification for reinforced concrete highway infrastructure from the current 75 years to 100 years or more. The goals are to reduce the financial and environmental costs and improve the sustainability of the system by limiting the need for maintenance, remediation, and replacement of the structures. In coastal areas and in the northern parts of North America and Europe, the major culprit in limiting the durability of reinforced concrete is salt from seawater and de-icing agents. The chlorides destroy the natural passivity of reinforcing steel in concrete and allow active corrosion, which eventually causes cracking and spalling of the concrete. De-icing agents containing calcium- or magnesium-chloride can attack the concrete directly. This presentation will describe the research at Waterloo on identifying the most appropriate stainless steels to combat the chloride attack over the long term. ACerS EDWARD ORTON JR. MEMORIAL LECTURE Glass and Water: Fast Surface Relaxation Minoru Tomozawa, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Water has a large influence on various glass characteristics such as mechanical, optical, and chemical properties. The structure and properties of glass can change with time near the glass transition temperature. This time dependence known as relaxation is a unique characteristic of glasses and its speed increases with rising temperature. This talk will cover the measurement of surface relaxation, its structural origin, and its application to making stronger glass fibers. Further, the lecture will discuss long-standing mysteries related to the mechanical properties of glasses, such as degradation of strengthened glasses, glass toughening, and fatigue limit.
