WSU professor presents research seminar on campus Thursday

The engineering department will host a research seminar presented by Dr. Karl Olsen, clinical assistant professor of engineering at Washington State University, from 4 to 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 20, in EHS 102. All are welcome.

Olsen’s presentation is entitled “Ultrasonic Detection of Simulated Corrosion in 1-Inch Diameter Steel Tieback Rods.” The research presented investigates the use of pulse-echo ultrasonic techniques to identify simulated corrosion in steel rods. The primary objective was to quantify loss of cross section due to corrosion of steel tieback rods in earth retention systems.
