The NSF funded Engineering Center for Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired Geotechnics (CBBG) serves as a nexus for two transformative trends in engineering: biologically-based design and sustainability.

CBBG is the hub of an international network of biogeotechnical researchers who exchange knowledge and ideas in the emerging sub-discipline of biogeotechnical engineering. Exchange programs with international collaborators provide an opportunity for CBBG students to expand their knowledge and skill sets in unique and imaginative ways, enhancing ...

In the CBBG, Arizona State University (ASU), Georgia Institute of Technology (GaTech), New Mexico State University (NMSU), and the University of California, Davis (UCD) have joined to develop a new generation of geotechnical processes and solutions inspired by nature to transform the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of resilient ...

2017年8月28日 · The NSF-funded Engineering Research Center for Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired Geotechnics (CBBG) seeks to understand and harness the scientific processes and principles of natural phenomena to develop more sustainable, safer, less intrusive, more resilient civil infrastructure systems.

The Center for Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired Geotechnics (CBBG) focuses on biologically based design and sustainability to develop ecologically friendly, cost-effective solutions, inspired by nature, for development and rehabilitation of resilient and sustainable civil infrastructure systems.

The consortium of university, industry and government partners has been awarded $18.5 million to establish the Center for Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired Geotechnics (CBBG) to expand the emerging field of biogeotechnical engineering.

The CBBG ERC focuses on “nature-compatible” approaches to boosting the resiliency of civil infrastructure, improving the effectiveness of environmental protection and ecological restoration methods, and developing ways to make infrastructure construction and natural resource development operations more sustainable.

The CBBG leadership and research team is an exemplar of diversity (43% Hispanic and 57% female), well above the national averages for Engineering professionals (NSF, 2013). Edward Kavazanjian Jr., Ph.D., P.E., CBBG Center Director. Edward Kavazanjian returned to academia with an appointment at ASU in 2004 after 20 years in engineering practice.
