One look at any of the bridges today and you’d think the concept of this engineering marvel might just be about two or three centuries old. That’s not the case, though. Bridges have existed since time ...

Learn how seismic-resilient bridge design uses advanced materials, curved geometry modeling, shape memory alloys, and performance-based methods to reduce earthquake damage and downtime.

Researchers in Drexel University’s College of Engineering have developed a solar-powered, wireless sensor system that can continually monitor bridge deformation and could be used to alert authorities ...

Seconds before the container ship Dali hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore last week and tore it down, killing six construction workers, it sailed past a structure designed to prevent that ...

There's something missing from the Patapsco River in Baltimore, Maryland. That something is the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Just last year, a 95,000-ton cargo ship lost steering and crashed into the ...
