Pitt CEE
@PittCivilEnvEng
Established in 1867 as Pitt's first engineering department. Proud of our worldwide legacy of outstanding alumni in civil and environmental engineering.
Our engineers received $600k+ from @ArmyERDC to pioneer a new way to improve concrete pavement quality. Using cutting-edge, non-destructive testing, they are developing tools to assess pavement quality within just 72 hours of placement. news.engineering.pitt.edu/a-concrete-pla…
Flooding is only increasing. Researchers are developing new tools to predict backward erosion piping (BEP)—a major threat to levees. Their work could help prevent catastrophic failures, reduce the impacts of floods to our communities, and save lives. news.engineering.pitt.edu/when-the-levee…
