Should MN design procedures be amended to have less conservative ice-loading parameters for bridges over smaller rivers? SAFL researchers & collaborators are measuring river ice across the state and comparing ice parameters to actual ice loading at 2 bridges for 2 winters ☃️☃️

Another fantastic day of field work to evaluate our existing culvert inventory with @umnCEGEtweets @UMDSwenson @thenauceias and help from @UMNCTS @MnDOTResearch

Here is how a seismic isolator (lead rubber bearing) performed during the 4/03 Hualien earthquake in Taiwan, providing real-world insight beyond experimental testing. (Video: Taiwan Matsuzawa Co. Ltd)

To explore seismic isolation further, read my op-ed:

We were very fortunate to collaborate with @FSRI_org. We added water infrastructure components to examine different mechanisms of water infrastructure damage during wildfires that may contribute to contamination. Research funded by @SloanFoundation. @bpwham @eulerlake

A recent CTS webinar explored how the preservation of Minnesota's bridge infrastructure is getting a boost from technology, including sensors & drones: https://t.co/2qoRElMAXN @UMNresearch @umnCEGEtweets @UMNCSE @MnDOTResearch @eulerlake

One theory for the cause of water contamination after a WUI fire is the backflow of ash and soot due to negative pressure. This is one of the theories we have been testing at @FSRI_org for the last week! @EngineeringOSU @CUEngineering @umnCEGEtweets. Funded by @SloanFoundation

[Erica Fischer @erica_fischer]

For the next two weeks we will test water infrastructure in WUI fire conditions with @FSRI_org. The results of the tests will inform mechanisms of water contamination during a wildfire. Sponsored by @SloanFoundation. PIs from @CUEngineering @EngineeringOSU @umnCEGEtweets

It’s that time of year when the number of exams in the grading pile seems to defy physics.

Exciting to see what my colleagues in @umnCEGEtweets and around @UMNews think are key issues in mobility.

[Center for Transportation Studies (CTS), UMN @UMNCTS]

Our new Future of Mobility series features leading @UMNews and national experts exploring what's next in transportation. In 17 articles, the authors scan the horizon and reflect on a range of critical transportation topics: https://t.co/yO9OKxtZKc @UMNresearch

3 years ago we built an interdisciplinary team to study wildfire impacts on water infrastructure. Yesterday we deepened that collaboration! Thank you @SloanFoundation for supporting this work and the amazing students working on it. @L_M_Ellsworth @bpwham @eulerlake Jenna Tilt.

Prof. Lauren Linderman's #research group works on a variety of projects, including Developing Sensor Technology for Wild-Urban Interface (WUI) Fire Resilience. How're they determining if water pipelines are being contaminated by #wildfires? Learn more! https://t.co/FNlwe9c0ul

We have a tenure-track faculty search in structures. @umnCEGEtweets is a fantastic place with incredible lab facilities. Come join us at Minnesota!

[Lauren Linderman @eulerlake]

Let’s do this. Take a break from eating and come see @umnCEGEtweets today to make a concrete coaster.

[College of Sci & Eng @UMNCSE]

The @mnstatefair is underway! Visit CSE exhibitors @umnCEGEtweets & @UMNEarthScience in UMN Central bldg to learn area topography and make your own concrete coaster! Plus, Physics Force @ 10:15 & 1:15 in Dan Patch Park #umnonastick
