Research projects co-sponsored by the
Center for Transportation Infrastructure and Safety advance the body of
knowledge in the following areas:
- Development, understanding, manufacturing,
and use of new, more durable construction materials and NDT
methods.
- Installation processes and engineering
design.
- Monitoring and evaluating new and repaired
structures.
- Standardization and code approval of
products and design protocols.
- Development and deployment of
infrastructure for a hydrogen economy.
- Modeling of high-pressure composite
cylinders.
- NDE modalities for hydrogen transportation
systems.
- Statistically validated codes and
standards for critical hydrogen transportation infrastructure
systems.
- Safety of hydrogen-powered vehicles and
the infrastructure supporting them.
