The rehabilitation of concrete structures, particularly within transportation infrastructure network is a major challenge for transportation agencies in the United States. This is especially true for concrete bridge decks, which are often subjected to severe operating conditions, both environmental and man-made. Often, the most appropriate strategy to preserve or rehabilitate these structures is to provide some form of a protective coating or barrier. (more…)

Wind energy is an increasingly important component of this nation’s renewable energy portfolio. Safe operation of wind turbine structures requires not only information regarding their condition, but their operational environment. Given the difficulty inherent in SHM processes and the stochastic nature of wind loads, a probabilistic framework is appropriate to characterize their risk of failure at a given time. (more…)

The use of fibers in cementitious materials has existed for several decades. However, their incorporation into structural design has been limited. In normal strength concrete their primary purpose is crack control, which leads to improved post cracking behavior. The fibers are considered secondary tensile reinforcement, overshadowed by the primary reinforcing bars. (more…)

Michigan Technological University professor George Dewey, advisor for Michigan Tech Transportation Enterprise, and Enterprise member Kristopher McCoy talked to the council about the proposal.
As Professor Neil Hutzler looks to retirement, he’s ensuring that a new generation is becoming inspired to consider engineering as a career. Hutzler is co-author of the recently published Family Engineering Activity & Event Planning Guide (2011) and co-director of the Family Engineering Program. Hutzler, and collaborator Joan Chadde, are busy conducting training workshops and promoting the program nationwide. Previous story
