#77: Technical Exchange: ERDC researcher to study flood mitigation strategies in Japan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Extreme weather events are not unique to the United States. That is why an ERDC researcher will be traveling to Japan to study with experts there and collaborate on strategies that can reduce flood risk in both nations. Dr. Amanda Tritinger, a research civil engineer at ERDC’s Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, was recently selected for the U.S. Army’s Engineer and Scientist Exchange Program (ESEP). As principal engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering With Nature® progr
#76: Printing Big: How ERDC builds complex structures layer by layer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if a nearly 600-pound hydraulic structure could be manufactured in only 27 hours? Lucy Slattery, an engineer with ERDC’s Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory, joins the Power of ERDC podcast to explain how ERDC researchers are using large-scale additive manufacturing to build complex components for physical modeling, prototyping and engineering research. Slattery describes how the team printed a one-tenth-scale, carbon-fiber-reinforced miter gate for the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory.
#75: Before and After September 11: ERDC research protected lives on 9/11 and in the ensuing conflicts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty-five years after September 11, ERDC’s research in force protection, blast effects and critical infrastructure remains an important part of the story of how science and engineering helped our nation respond. In this special episode of the Power of ERDC, we revisit an ERDC Live conversation originally recorded in 2021 for the 20th anniversary of 9/11. The conversation features longtime ERDC leaders Bart Durst and Dr. Reed Mosher, who reflect on ERDC’s work before and after 9/11 and the rese
#74: High-Tech Hide and Seek: Innovative testbed pushes underwater UXO detection technology to its limits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Across the country, coastal waters at Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) potentially contain unexploded ordnance. Finding, identifying, characterizing and, when necessary, safely clearing these munitions in shallow-water environments presents an immense challenge. Cutting-edge robotic systems equipped with advanced sensors, acoustics and precision mapping tools hold potential to locate these hazards. However, these technologies must first be proven in the chaotic, highly dynamic environment of t
#73: Building Stronger Levees: Biostabilization research is creating more resilient flood control network (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Levees and other earthen embankments must withstand erosion, overtopping, extreme weather and changing soil moisture. ERDC researchers are investigating whether biostabilization, a nature-based treatment using biopolymers and vegetation, can help these systems remain stronger for longer. Dr. Lucas Walshire, a research civil engineer with ERDC’s Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory, explains how biopolymers can provide immediate improvements in soil strength and erosion resistance while encoura
