The Portage Lake Bridge is being recognized as one of the most significant historic civil engineering works in the country thanks to three Michigan Tech researchers.

Setting aside the political feasibility, how would engineers design the bridge if they were going to build it from scratch today? Over time, researchers have developed lighter materials.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The discovery of a cracked bridge beam shut down traffic and cost an inspector his job after ARDOT says he failed to notice the break. We wanted to know just how bad that crack ...

The collapse of the bridge raises questions about how much engineers can do to prevent such events from occurring in the future.

A civil engineer picked the perfect place to get down on one knee to propose to his girlfriend, who also happens to be a civil engineer: Memorial Bridge in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Position description: The Institute of Bridge Engineering (IBE) is recruiting a PhD student to conduct research on performance-based design and assessment of civil infrastructure systems under winds.

How Do Forensic Engineers Investigate Bridge Collapses, Like the One in Miami? Investigators will study video, design plans and the “accelerated bridge construction” method for clues ...

Forensic engineers are taking center stage in the ongoing investigation to find out what happened and why – and, crucially, to learn how to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
