Make Our Bridges Safer: Lead the Lab Behind the Research Bridge scour, the erosion of soil around bridge foundations during floods, is the leading cause of bridge failures in the United States. FHWA reports roughly 25 to 30 failures a year. The research done at this lab becomes the federal design gu

Make Our Bridges Safer: One Test at a Time Bridge scour, the erosion of streambed material around piers and abutments, is the leading cause of bridge failures in the United States, contributing to an estimated 25 to 30 bridge failures every year, with thousands more bridges nationwide currently list

Help Explain Why Bridges Fail — And Design the Concrete That Won't Roughly 600,000 bridges make up the National Highway System, and the concrete research happening in this lab directly shapes the design specifications engineers nationwide rely on to build and rate every one of them. When a bridge do
