We offer M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in both Structural Engineering and Civil Engineering.

Lehigh has internationally recognized graduate research and education programs in structural engineering. Graduates of these programs will have the knowledge and analytical problem-solving capabilities needed to lead and innovate within multi-disciplinary teams for technologically complex environments such as large-structural systems of the civil infrastructure.

RESEARCH AREAS

Advanced Structural Materials and SystemsHigh performance steels and new systems for steel highway bridges; and fi ber composite and precast bridge decks. Precast concrete wall systems and precastconcrete diaphragm systems.

Earthquake Resistant StructuresNew earthquake resistant steel, steel-concrete composite, and precast concrete structural systems. Performance evaluation and improvement of existing steel and precast concrete systems.

Simulation, Measurement and EvaluationNew laboratory testing methods, fi eld monitoring and evaluation (including non-destructive) of in-service structures and materials.

Infrastructure Reliability, Maintenance and Life-Cycle PerformanceReliability and risk of structures and civil infrastructure. Life prediction, life-cycle performance optimization under confl icting objectives. Bridge network maintenance planning.

Intelligent Infrastructure SystemsSensing, evaluation, and communication ofhealth, vulnerability and condition of systems.

Infrastructure Hazard MitigationRisk evaluation to infrastructure systems from multi hazards including fi re and blast loadings, and reliable mitigation technology.

FACILITIES

ATLSS: The world-renowned ATLSS Center focuses on the full life-cycle of structural systems and materials for the infrastructure, including developing new systems and materials, developing technology for assessing conditions (e.g., non-destructive evaluation and monitoring technology), understanding system and material failures, and developing technology for repairing and retrofi tting existing systems.
