UI, Buchanan County, South Korea collaboration yields results

Friday, November 13, 2015
The Hawkeye UHPC Bridge, made with ultra-high performance concrete from South Korea, made its debut on November 10, 2015, during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The bridge is located in Fairbank, Iowa, and was made possible through a collaboration between the University of Iowa, Buchanan County, and the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT). The bridge is just one example of how cutting-edge UI research can connect with experts and funding from our global partners, leading to advances that directly benefit Iowans.
