Cosmic ray measurements could help extend lifespan of UK bridges
Dr David Mahon of the University of Glasgow has received £459,000 in new funding from UKRI’s Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) to support the project, which aims to reduce the cost and environmental impact of repairs to road and rail bridges by enabling earlier detection of structural problems. The project builds on Dr Mahon’s expertise in muography, a technique which uses measurements of cosmic rays to create detailed 3D images of the interiors of structures. -
