Konstantin Sobolev (right) consults with doctoral student Scott Muzenski while the two look at a sample of a "smart" concrete composite they developed that has a service life of more than 120 years.
Engineering students put another layer of the concrete composite over the sensors. Students were patching a large crack in the driveway of a UWM parking lot with the product from funded research in Sobolev's lab.
