Civil engineer develops lesson plans around bridges as part of I-70 project
At a STEM Cubs event in June, students had the opportunity to build bridges out of candy and toothpicks. How do you construct a road over a river? Why do some bridges have steel arches over the roadway while others don’t? How do bridges work, anyway? Sarah Orton These are some of the questions Mizzou Engineering’s Sarah Orton will answer as she develops curriculum around bridge-building for K-12 schools across the state. Orton, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, is working on the lesson plans with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Lunda Construction, the…

Cracking the code: Engineering team devises improved way to predict cracks
Rogelio Muñeton-Lopez, left, receives congratulations during the Engineering Mechanics Institute conference earlier this month where he was a finalist in the student paper competition for his work on predicting cracks. Cracks can cause serious problems on roads and bridges, as they compromise the strength and soundness of a structure. A Mizzou Engineering team has devised a way to better predict not only where a crack will occur but also the path it could take as it progresses. The work earned Rogelio Muñeton-Lopez, a master’s student in civil engineering, runner-up status at the Engineering Mechanics Institute conference earlier this…

ZouSim uses simulated environment to study driver behavior
Ericka Zhou participates in a traffic study using a simulated environment with graduate student Qingzhong Zeng in Professor Carlos Sun’s ZouSim Lab. Erika Zhou is “driving” 50 in a 60-mile-per-hour zone. When she approaches road work, her speed drops to about 15 below the posted limit. A few days later, Stuart Aldrich speeds down the same stretch of interstate, slowing slightly within the work zone. Here, there’s no right or wrong way to drive. Welcome to the ZouSim Lab at Mizzou Engineering, where highways and traffic come to life in a virtual setting. The lab has a driving simulator built…

Engineer develops underwater imaging system to investigate natural seeps
A still image from Binbin Wang’s research into natural seeps. It’s estimated that roughly 160,000 tons of oil and gas naturally enter North American waters each year. These so-called “natural seeps” are hydrocarbons that come out of plant or animal fossils under the seafloor. Depending on where they are, the bubbles of oil and gas can dissipate or, in more shallow spots, rise to the surface, sending methane into the atmosphere. But how do they behave and impact surrounding water at the point they arise from the ocean floor? That’s what Binbin Wang hopes to find out. Wang, an…
