Dr. Hesham Elemam at Texas A&M University-Texarkana received a $249,373 grant to develop bio-enhanced concrete. The project focuses on creating durable, low-carbon materials for future infrastructure to reduce the heavy carbon footprint of traditional cement production. This year-long study aims to improve the long-term performance of construction materials while advancing sustainable building practices. The funding also supports the expansion of the university's civil engineering research capabilities.
