UT Arlington researcher developing framework to detect damage to dams from earthquakes

Managing natural resourcesA UT Arlington researcher is developing a comprehensive, reliability-based framework to analyze North Texas dams and detect damage from seismic activity. Anand Puppala, a professor of civil engineering  and associate dean for research in UT Arlington’s College of Engineering, is overseeing a three-year, $1 million project from the Tarrant Regional Water District  to analyze data taken at the Eagle Mountain Lake dam, which he will then use to create a framework that future investigators can use to determine if a dam

CAREER grant to help UT Arlington professor study earthquakes, create teacher Geocorps

A UT Arlington professor will use part of his CAREER grant to team with Teach for AmericaA UT Arlington assistant professor of earth and environmental sciences has been awarded up to $400,000 from the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program to study how rock structures react to events such as earthquakes, meteor impacts and explosions. W. Ashley Griffith also will use the new grant to partner with Teach for America – Dallas - Fort Worth to create the TFA Geocorps. His project will involve secondary school teachers in research and provide them with

UT Arlington geophysicist awarded federal funds to study rock dynamics

The Army Research Office has awarded a three-year grant of up to $357,330 to a University of Texas at Arlington geophysicist using new technology to better define the energy needed to fracture rock at the surface and below ground. W. Ashley Griffith, an assistant professor of earth and environmental sciences, said the new research could give the Army information on how to address hardened and deeply buried targets, but the results could also easily be applied to improving civil engineering methods. The new grant also relates to Griffith’s ongoing research using the latest technology to
