Leveraging cutting-edge methods to design and build sustainable infrastructure

Our structural engineering faculty are experts in the areas of design, behavior, and analysis. Projects not only advance innovative structural systems but also further the methods used to design and build more cost-effective, resilient structures. 

Active research areas include: 

  • Bridge performance testing
  • Cyber-physical approaches to design
  • Integrated structural health monitoring
  • Life expectancy analysis and life extension economics
  • Machine foundations
  • New and smart materials in structures 
  • Nondestructive condition assessment
  • Risk and reliability
  • Resilient infrastructure and systems
  • Optimal design for wind loads 

Centers and Labs

The Center for Technology and Systems Management leverages the expertise of both in-house experts and external associates to offer systems engineering, project management, and robotics, automation, control, and intelligent systems capabilities to its clients. Center products increase efficiency and effectiveness, enhance reliability, reduce failure rates, and support rational decision making for a cost-effective management of risk.

Explore the center

The Structural Engineering Laboratory is a fully-equipped, state-of-the-art space for structures testing and developing advanced sensor and innovative damping technology on relatively large-scale civil and aerospace structures.
