Innovative Research Focuses on Minimizing Damage
to Structures Under Terrorist Attack
A new technique has been developed by SE graduate student Janet Wolfson and her advisor, Dr. Gilbert Hegemier, which can mitigate damage from a terrorist attack when traditional solutions are not feasible. This retrofit was developed for a specific class of structures where the support steel is ruptured, or fragmented, when a nearby bomb is detonated. To read the whole story, click here.
