Betti, who in 1995 received the National Science Foundation’s National Young Investigator Award for his work, has developed ways to retrofit bridges to make them more resistant to heavy vibrations, such as those produced by earthquakes, strong winds or heavy traffic. He has also studied automated detection techniques that signal when bridge structures are damaged and on new materials to repair corroded bridge cables.
