Projects

 Students learn about reinforced concrete through mixing, bending rebar, pouring and finally testing concrete beams  of two different sizes in bending using CIEST’s 110-kip actuator   

ApproachU.S. Department of Energy–supported, 3-year, multi-million-dollar project focused on gas distribution mains. The approach automates construction of a regulation-compliant, stand-alone internal replacement pipe (IRP) inside legacy mains using

The intent of this study is to impose external loading conditions to test specimens that are representative of the significant deformations possible during earthquake-induced ground motions such as landsliding, fault rupture, and liquefaction-induced lateral spreading, characterizing the pipeline system capacity.
