Recent research conducted at South Dakota State University shows that E. coli contamination of stormwater runoff was reduced by an average of more than 44%, and phosphate levels were also significantly reduced in a pilot stormwater filtration that used steel chips and steel slag as a filtration media.
Research at South Dakota State University to better understand stream flows will lead to improved designs for bridges, culverts, and other infrastructure elements that are subject to erosion and scour.
Researchers at the University of Utah have developed technology that can potentially conduct multi-lane roadway ice/snow coverage estimation, which is superior to the state-of-the-art single-spot measurements.
Researchers at the University of Utah are exploring local resonances, a form of ultrasonic vibration, to detect defects and thermal stress in railroad rails.
