Projects
- Project Title:Â Testing and Analysis of Pipeline Encapsulation TechnologiesFunding Agency:Â DOE/ARPA-E: Rapid Encapsulation of Pipelines Avoiding Intensive Replacement (REPAIR)Lead: University of Colorado BoulderPartners:Â Gas Technology
- The intent of this study is to impose external loading conditions to test specimens that are representative of the significant deformations possible during earthquake-induced ground motions such as landsliding, fault rupture, and liquefaction-induced lateral spreading, characterizing the pipeline system capacity.
- In the spring of 2024 CIEST hosted a student tutorial for the non-profit, Engineers without Borders or EWB. The tutorial was aimed at giving students experience making concrete before a trip to Nepal.
- The intent of this study is to investigate the difference between a serrated faced flange connection and a non-serrated faced flange connection; mainly to determine whether one would leak sooner than the other.
- Project Title: Reinforced Concrete student project Participants: Prof. Abbie Liel, CIEST Year: 2024 Summary: In this experiment, undergraduate students in Prof. Abbie Liel's class, analyze the failure modes of concrete. Using the biaxial frame, a
