Wildfires may seem unpredictable, leaving random ruin in their wake.
CSU engineers have developed a model that can predict how wildfire will impact a community down to which buildings will burn. They say predicting damage to the built environment is essential to developing fire mitigation strategies and steps for recovery.
For years, Hussam Mahmoud, a Civil and Environmental Engineering professor,
Fall safety continues to be the top job site hazard, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Top 10 Safety Violations report. This makes fall protection the top citation for the 12th year in a row, with 5,260 reported violations this fiscal year.

Engineering researchers have developed a new self-healing composite that allows structures to repair themselves in place, without having to be removed from service. This latest technology resolves two longstanding challenges for self-healing materials, and can significantly extend the lifespan of structural components such as wind-turbine blades and aircraft wings.
“Researchers have developed a variety of self-healing materials, but previous strategies
