Grad Student’s Bridge Reinforcement Research Featured on WABI, WVII

Hannah Breton Loring, a graduate student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UMaine, was interviewed by WABI (Channel 5) and WVII (Channel 7) about her research on and development of a more affordable bridge reinforcement system. Loring’s system consists of fiber-reinforced polymer composites that attach to the bottom of concrete beams to add support to aging bridges.
