Abstract The Mississippi Summer Transportation Institute (MSTI) aimed to introduce a diverse group of motivated high school students to the transportation industry. This three-week program was held at Jackson State University’s Engineering Building in Jackson, Mississippi. The Inter-modal Advisory Committee recruited thirty rising 9th-12th grade students for the residential MSTI program. The high school students participated in academic and extra-curricular activities designed to improve their Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) knowledge and leadership skills. This residential program provided a well-balanced curriculum and an environment that was conducive to both academic and personal development, promoted interpersonal skills and exposed students to real-world transportation issues. These were accomplished through a series of classroom activities, field trips and recreational activities. Robot competition, traffic design, and bridge competitions were included to enhance students’ design ability and teamwork skills. An evening coordinator organized in-class scientific projects, including Eiffel tower construction, hanging in duct tape, balsa bridge glider, egg drop, and paper tower competitions. 17.

The goals of the program were for students to 1) have a more comprehensive understanding of transportation- related topics and 2) be more interested in transportation-related majors in their future academic careers. By giving students an opportunity to study the STEM related topics before going to college, they will have greater familiarity and confidence in the STEM profession in the future. viii 2018 Mississippi Summer Transportation

In recognition of this season of change, Passport‘s features this month are connected with a “makeover” theme. For example, our October Russian Star is master of makeover Alexander Glushkov, founder and CEO of Mone, Moscow’s biggest chain of beauty salons (page 34). Of course, since any mention of aesthetic alteration immediately reminds the Moscow resident of the changes happening in the city itself, our October issue provides a number of articles about Moscow’s own makeover. Olga Slobodkina von-Bromssen’s art history column explores the work of Moscow artist Alexei Aizenman (page 16), whose cityscapes preserve Moscow’s face in oils; James Brooke talks to architect Frank Williams (page 18), whose design for the Mercury City skyscraper will change the capital’s skyline forever; and Isabelle Hale digs into the foundations of Park Huaming, a Chinese twist on Moscow’s building boom (page 38).

  • Record Bridge in Shanghai with Expansion Joints from Munich July
    July/20 PRESS RELEASE Record bridge in Shanghai with expansion joints Page 1 of 3 from Munich Hutong Bridge on the Yangtze requires 36-m-long expansion joints with longitudinal movements of 1,800 mm. Munich, Shanghai. Once again, China has built a record bridge: since July 1, 2020, the Hutong Bridge with a length of 11 km has been connecting Shanghai at the south bank of the Yangtze delta and Nantong at the north bank. For the main bridge featuring a span width of 1,092 m, swivel-joist ex- pansion joints were required that allow for a movement of almost 2 meters in longitudinal direction at both bridge ends. The expansion joints were manu- factured at MAURER in Munich. Record bridge in China: the Hutong bridge featuring a length of 11 km with the central cable-stayed bridge The “Hutong Yangtze River Bridge” (“Hu” is the abbreviation for Shanghai, “Tong” with a length of 1,092 m. Photo: Imaginechina Limited / Alamy Stock Photo for Nantong) is a combined railroad/road bridge. The double-decker bridge over the Yangtze delta is 11,076 m in length. The bridge deck consists of a steel framework girder with four embedded rail tracks, two of which are suitable for velocities up to 250 km/h (155 mph). On the upper deck, road traffic is moving on three lanes in each direction. Two section bridges characterize the total structure: in the north, a 336-m-long steel arch bridge, in the south, the “largest” cable-stayed bridge worldwide. With a main span width of 1,092 m it is only 12 m shorter than the previous record holder, the Russky Bridge (Russia).

Wireless-sensor based monitoring system is found to be advantageous over traditional wire-based system because of their ease of implementation, cost, flexibility and maintenance. However, power supply is an important concern for wireless sensors used in monitoring of civil engineering structures. While there are different efficient power usage methods and power supply solutions available for wireless sensors, their applications to SHM systems for civil infrastructure are not standardized.
