2 -- 2017 Scholarly Productivity Report

FROM THE CHAIRIn this edition of the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Scholarly Productivity Report, we are excited to share our 2017 activities. The year was a step forward in working toward completing plans that were introduced in our Vision 2020 Plan in 2011. We enjoyed increased productivity in most aspects of our scholarly work and are thrilled to share that progress with you herein.

Most of all, we were excited to welcome three new team members (listed below) to the department, and we look for them to lead us into new research and educational areas.

• Dr. Magdy Abdelrahman joined us as the Missouri Asphalt Pavement Association (MAPA) Professor. Dr. Abdelrahman had been a professor of civil engineering at North Dakota State University, and he previously received a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award for research and new courses in infrastructure sustainability.

• Dr. Jenny Liu also joined Missouri S&T as part of the campuswide signature area hire in Advanced Materials for Sustainable Infrastructure. Dr. Liu joins us from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where she was a professor in civil and environmental engineering. She also served as the director of the USDOT University Transportation Center (UTC), Center for Environmentally Sustainable Transportation in Cold Climates (CESTiCC).

• Dr. XianBiao “XB” Hu was also welcomed as a new assistant professor and as part of the campuswide signature area hire in Smart Living. He earned a Ph.D. at the University of Arizona, where he served as affiliate professor, and he also served as research and development director of Metropia Inc., prior to joining our team at S&T. Dr. Hu’s research interests include the design and development of smart transportation systems, driving safety and insurance telematics, and energy-saving oriented travel behavior.

Along with these new members of the team, we celebrated a strong year of production, with a listing of over 130 peer-reviewed journal articles for our faculty and students (page 7), as well as many notable international keynote talks and presentations (page 19). The CArEE faculty also marked a solid year of new research projects, notably the new USDOT University Transportation Center, Inspecting and Preserving Infrastructure through Robotic Exploration “INSPIRE” that will run for five years and include new automated infrastructure nondestructive testing methods (page 27). Many national and international awards were also bestowed upon our faculty, ranging from notable research breakthroughs to recognition of career for accomplishments in teaching, service and research (page 29).

The team of faculty, staff and students in the CArEE department celebrated an excellent year. In particular, we moved forward on the new building expansion of the Advanced Construction and Materials Laboratory (ACML), beginning the design process with the ground breaking to be scheduled for fall 2018 (back cover). The construction project of $6.5 million links many of the faculty hires and ongoing research efforts highlighted in this report. With all the experience and talents of our new faculty, the increased facilities capabilities in place or pending, and the current funding of projects commencing in 2018, we look to continue the current direction for advancing our research and educational programs. Our talented team and our research and educational facilities will undoubtedly create greater opportunities for our graduates to go out and “change the world” in their career as Missouri S&T alumni.

If you have any questions about the exciting things happening in Rolla and our future vision of civil, architectural and environmental engineering at S&T, please contact me and take any opportunity to stay engaged with our team.

MR. MSM-UMR-S&T RETIRES It was the end of an era when Jerry Bayless, a faculty member at Missouri S&T (and MSM, and UMR) for more than half a century, retired in February 2017. The longtime instructor in civil engineering was celebrated during Homecoming. “There’s nobody who has made such an impact on our students in our almost 150 years of civil engineering education in Rolla,” says Dr. Joel Burken, Curators’ Distinguished Professor and chair of civil, architectural and environmental engineering. “He has influenced many, many students, helping those who are struggling to stay in school and see it through. That’s day to day, not just a special occasion. That’s who he is.”

ACML PROGRESS16,000 ft2 added teaching and

research space

10 new research labs

6 academic departments involved

30 bridges built or repaired to date through S&T’s efforts

4 allied research centers 35pieces of

testing equipmentThis unique laboratory will give Missouri S&T investigators a competitive edge and help build our reputation as one of the nation’s leading teaching and research universities. The cost of the expansion is $6.5 million, and we are approaching the finish line thanks to a gift of $3 million from alumnus James A. Heidman, CE’65. University of Missouri System President Mun Choi contributed $1.7 million to help push the project closer to completion. Plans are currently being developed with Christner Inc. & McClure Engineering, with bids to be sought in August 2018. The ACML’s scheduled completion is expected in fall 2019.
