https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpRz4Nsuwow Even in the age of supercomputing, engineers still demand tangible models to fully understand the complex interaction between coastal infrastructure and dynamic ocean forces. ERDC has nearly a century of expertise in building scaled representations of real-world systems and testing them to evaluate civil works and military project designs. We discuss ERDC’s coastal physical…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asfj3PT-nXg It may have been designed for combat, but its new mission is helping communities recover from natural disasters. The Battlefield Damage Assessment Tool, a technology developed by ERDC, gives first responders a rapid, data-driven view of damage, helping them allocate critical resources more efficiently after events like wildfires and hurricanes. We go behind the…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UMcvL2iLTM We are exploring a pair of unsung teams whose efforts magnify ERDC’s research capabilities. That includes three fabrication shops where master craftsmen – welders, machinists and model makers – turn research concepts into a tangible reality. Meanwhile, ERDC’s Directorate of Public Works, or DPW, is responsible for maintaining the organization’s facilities and infrastructure –…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZyYytdaVMw Bird strikes are a persistent and costly threat to aviation safety. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, more than 13,000 strikes are reported in the U.S. each year, costing hundreds of millions in damages and endangering both civilian and military aircraft. We are joined by ERDC’s Dr. Jake Jung and Dr. Brian Washburn with…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKQiuoMsv1w When most people think about the military being ready for the fight, they picture aircraft and vehicles, not the pavements beneath them. We talk with Dr. Jeremy Stache, a research civil engineer at the ERDC Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory, about why pavement science is essential to military mobility and power projection. Topics include the…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfCGuTVytBo George Blaisdell’s career is one for the record books. His contributions to engineering in one of the world’s most inhospitable environments are legendary, but for a man with more than 30 trips to Antarctica, the work is far from over. Today’s guest is Blaisdell, a research civil engineer with ERDC’s Cold Regions Research and…
