介绍了一种将碳纤维带/板环氧粘结在钢梁抗拉翼缘上加固加固钢-混凝土组合桥钢梁的新技术。这项技术的可行性将通过对优惠券样品的实验和分析建模来确定。随后将开发一个研究全尺寸复合材料样品的项目，该项目将利用这一创新技术。这项研究有望产生新的知识，增加将先进的现代材料整合到土木工程结构中的数据库，并帮助桥梁设计工程师延长现有桥梁的使用寿命。所学知识将指导碳纤维复合材料层板钢梁桥的耐久性研究。这些互动活动旨在提高女工程师在校园中的知名度，从而鼓励女学生从事工程工作。它们包括：教授二年级课程和高级/研究生课程；组织一系列研讨会，提高担任学术、工业或政府职位的妇女在土木工程各专业中的能见度；并协助社会工程师协会成员在全国工程师周期间组织一项工程活动，以提高女工程学学生在高中和/或文法学校学生中的能见度。

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.
