The 200-ton, four-span bridge was built over several months atop the 14-foot square shake tables at the world-renowned University of Nevada, Reno large-structures lab. The innovative bridge was hit ...

Large-scale 3D printing is a growing trend, with architecture benefiting a great deal from the technology. They’ve already printed perfectly habitable houses, metal bridges, and NASA’s even talking ...

Swiss engineers have developed a new imaging technique that lets them see the insides of massive concrete bridges. Much like a sonogram, this technique provides quick, easy-to-interpret images, so ...

RENO, Nev. – After a succession of eight separate earthquake simulations, a 110-foot long, 200-ton concrete bridge model at the University of Nevada, Reno withstood a powerful jolting, three times the ...
