Environmental/Geotechnical research examines a variety of engineering challenges, including improving pipe/culvert performance, improving pavement performance, investigating soil/pipe interactions, and developing new sensors/probes to study geo-environmental problems.

The Civil Engineering faculty have been extensively involved with a number of environmental/geotechnical issues that comprise a large part of the research in the Ohio Research Institute for Transportation and the Environment.
