An innovative technique for strengthening and retrofitting steel girders in composite steel concrete bridges by epoxy bonding carbon fiber tape/plate to the girder tension flange is presented. The feasibility of this technique will be established via experimental and analytical modeling of coupon specimens. Development of a project to study full-scale composite specimens which utilize this innovative technique will follow. The research is anticipated to result in new knowledge, add to the data base for integrating advanced modern materials into Civil Engineering structures, and help bridge design engineers extend the service life of existing bridges. The knowledge learned will guide a durability study of steel girder bridges with carbon composite laminates. The interactive activities are designed to provide greater visibility of women engineers on campus and thus to encourage female students to pursue a career in engineering. They include: teaching a sophomore level course and senior/graduate level course; organizing a seminar series enhancing the visibility of women who hold academic, industry, or government, positions within various specialties of Civil Engineering; and assisting SWE members in organizing an engineering activity during National Engineers Week to enhance visibility of female engineering students to high school and/or grammar school students.

介绍了一种采用环氧树脂粘结碳纤维带/板加固钢-混凝土组合桥梁钢梁的新技术。 该技术的可行性将通过试样的实验和分析建模来确定。 随后将开展一个项目，研究利用这种创新技术的全尺寸复合材料试样。 这项研究预计将产生新的知识，增加数据库，将先进的现代材料集成到土木工程结构中，并帮助桥梁设计工程师延长现有桥梁的使用寿命。 所学到的知识将指导碳复合材料层压板钢梁桥的耐久性研究。 互动活动旨在提高女工程师在校园中的可见度，从而鼓励女学生从事工程职业。 它们包括： 教授大二课程和大四/研究生课程;组织一系列研讨会，提高在土木工程各专业担任学术、工业或政府职务的妇女的知名度;协助SWE成员在全国工程师周期间组织工程活动，提高高中和/或文法学校学生对女工程学生的知名度。
