Steel Bridge Sweeps Regional Competition! On to Nationals for BEARzilla!

The Berkeley Steel Bridge Team's entry, BEARzilla, received 1st place overall, and in all 6 subcategories, at the AISC regional competition held at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.  Berkeley's sweeping victory qualifies them to advance to the national competition in May.

The team's civil and mechanical engineers work together to design, machine, weld, and assemble a 22-foot-long bridge that is required to be loaded to 2500 pounds with minimal deflection.

The competition is based on 3 main categories: weight, assembly time, and deflection under load.

Gabriel Lobo's Solution for Safer Lead Pipes Highlighted at ACS Conference

Doctoral student Gabriel Lobo's cost effective solution to make lead pipes safer in distribution systems was highlighted at the recent 2019 American Chemical Society conference in Orlando, FL.

"More than 18 million people in the US are currently at risk of developing health problems from lead leaching from pipes in their water distribution systems," says Gabriel Lobo.

Lobo became involved in this issue when his adviser, Professor Ashok Gadgil, began to focus on finding a solution for the lead problems in Flint, MI.
