Bridge Preservation |
|
The Bridge Preservation area focuses primarily on techniques and materials used to repair, reinforce and preserve bridges and related structures. The research includes protective coatings for concrete and steel, performance testing of coatings against accelerated weathering, environmental issues related to coatings, and the impact of surface contaminants. Studies have examined preservation and mitigation in state-maintained wetlands, prevention of volatile organic compounds during bridge painting projects, and developing improved maintenance safety protocol for Transportation Cabinet employees and contractors. Other research focuses on ways to develop infrastructure while minimizing the environmental impact of construction and materials. |
