Abstract
The Concrete Bridge Engineering Institute (CBEI) is the center of concrete bridge-related research, education, and training at The University of Texas at Austin. The mission is to serve the concrete bridge community and profession on the most pressing issues encountered in concrete bridges. CBEI serves as a national resource for innovative workforce development programs and implementation of new technologies in the field of concrete bridges. CBEI, together with its collaborators representing the concrete bridge community, seeks to develop pioneering, practical, and effective programs that will have national impact with the goal of addressing issues encountered in concrete bridges and implementing plans to work toward ensuring resiliency and durability expectations are met. Three specific needs have been identified and are currently being developed through CBEI: Bridge Deck Construction Inspection Program, Concrete Materials for Bridges Program, and Post-tensioning Laboratory. In these programs, techniques and technologies will be demonstrated and evaluated in a unique, hands-on environment. CBEI is envisioned to meet the existing and future needs within the concrete bridge community and help bridge gaps between education, research, and practice.
