Researchers from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and MIT developed an innovative bridge repair method using cold spray, which accelerates powdered steel particles in heated, compressed gas to apply layers to corroded steel beams, restoring their thickness and structural properties. This method is cost-effective, minimally disruptive to traffic, and could reduce carbon pollution by exten

Description
Description | Researchers from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and MIT developed an innovative bridge repair method using cold spray, which accelerates powdered steel particles in heated, compressed gas to apply layers to corroded steel beams, restoring their thickness and structural properties. This method is cost-effective, minimally disruptive to traffic, and could reduce carbon pollution by extending the lifespan of steel beams. |
