Sept. 12, 2007: Civil Engineering Seminar at NDSU
Dr. Kim delivered a technical presentation on the bridge collapse in Minneapolis, MN (Aug. 1, 2007). The I-35W bridge (#9340) was constructed in 1967 and had 8 traffic lanes with a total length of 1907 ft. (581 m). The possible contributions to the bridge collapse were discussed. An effective structural repair method using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites was proposed to better rehabilitate deteriorated transportation structures (abstract)
