Projects
Structural Dynamics students work with CIEST to apply learning in labs.
Experimental Methods in Structural Engineering apply learning with CIEST
ASCE student chapters have designed and raced concrete canoes in the National Concrete Canoe Competition since the early 1970s.
Students in the American Society of Civil Engineers at CU Boulder compete annually against other universities in the region at the ASCE regional conference to design and construct a steel truss bridge.
CIEST assists Mechanics of Materials I and II in their practical labs.- The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is currently replacing many of its open reservoirs with buried, reinforced-concrete structures to improve water quality.
This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant will create a new approach for evaluating the behavior of clusters of buildings on liquefiable ground during earthquakes and pave the way toward designing mitigation measures that improve building performance at a system level.
This project will study the seismic response of temporary and permanent cut-and-cover box structures near mid- to high-rise buildings using a combination of centrifuge testing and numerical simulations.- The Western Transportation Institue has conducted a series of modelling tests of deep patch repairing method used in Highway in our 400 g-ton centrifuge.
