Department Information
The structural and earthquake engineering program within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is one of the university’s premier research programs with ten academic faculty, three research faculty and approximately 35 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Its state-of-the-art structural engineering laboratories are among the most advanced. They comprise the 18,000 sq. ft. Large-Scale Structures Laboratory with 7,500 sq. ft. of strong floor space, and the 44,000 sq. ft. Earthquake Engineering Laboratory with 9,600 sq. ft. of strong floor space. The latter houses the only re-locatable, four-table array in the U.S. capable of simulating earthquake motions for large-scale, distributed system experiments. This array includes three, identical, 50-ton, biaxial shake tables, and a 50-ton, 6-degree-of-freedom shake table. A fifth shake table and biaxial laminar soil box is in the final stages of construction for studying soil-structure-interaction. When complete in spring 2021, it will be the second largest such facility in the world. In addition, a large suite of servo-hydraulic actuators is available for hybrid experimentation.
College Information
In the past decade, substantial growth in both student enrollment and tenure-track faculty positions has led the College of Engineering to unprecedented success and new levels of performance that contributed significantly to the University’s elevation to Carnegie R1 status. Enrollment has doubled, and in the most recent fiscal year, new research funding surpassed $22 million. This fall, the new 100,000-square-foot William N. Pennington Engineering Building opened. With its 150 graduate workstations, 40 laboratories and ISO Class 5 (Class 100) cleanroom, our students and faculty will build on the College’s robust tradition of excellence in pursuit of high-impact research that improves lives in our state, across our nation and around the world.
