Description

The Engineering for Civil Infrastructure (ECI) program supports fundamental research in geotechnical, structural, materials, architectural, and coastal engineering. It promotes research that can shape the future of the nation’s physical civil infrastructure and contribute to climate change adaptation, mitigation, and disaster resilience. The program considers various types of civil infrastructure including buildings, water systems, energy infrastructure (excluding nuclear), and transportation systems (excluding pavements). Research supported includes experimental and analytical studies on materials and infrastructure behavior under environmental and hazard conditions, with an emphasis on fundamental scientific questions.
