Beneath the Surface: Predicting Underground Corrosion
12:00-12:30p.m. (PT) | Link to register.
This MTI Research Snaps webinar is based on an MTI-led CSUTC research project, Steel Corrosion in Underground Transportation Infrastructure.
Corrosion of steel is one of the costliest challenges facing transportation infrastructure, especially when it occurs underground, out of sight and difficult to detect. In this MTI Research Snaps webinar, Dr. Amr M. Morsy will discuss his new research that combines laboratory testing, field data, and machine learning to better predict underground steel corrosion as soil conditions change over time. Join us to learn how these findings could help engineers better estimate the lifespan of buried infrastructure and prevent costly and dangerous failures.
Featured Guest: Amr M. Morsy, PhD, PE, MTI Researcher & Assistant Professor, California State University, Long Beach
Moderator: Hilary Nixon, PhD, Deputy Executive Director, Mineta Transportation Institute (MTI)
*0.5 PDH credit available
