Several media outlets featured comments from Habib Tabatabai, 51ÁÔÆæ professor of civil and environmental engineering, in their reporting of the collapse of the Baltimore bridge on March 26. Tabatabai is an expert in the structural safety and durability of bridges, particularly of cable-stayed bridges, the kind that the new bridge in Baltimore will likely be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it isn\u2019t surprising that Tabatabai has been interviewed by the media multiple times about the rebuilding of the Baltimore bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In these stories, Tabatabai explained what distinguishes this kind of bridge. He also pointed out the widespread need to modernize physical infrastructure and the many considerations that go into deciding what kind of bridge to build at a particular site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
