The American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) has awarded Anil K. Agrawal with its 2025 Moisseiff Award in recognition of his groundbreaking research on bridge structural robustness.
Published in the ASCE Journal of Bridge Engineering in April 2024, Agarwal’s contributions are part of the research paper titled "Reliability-Based Framework for Structural Robustness Evaluation of Bridges."
The research, which he co-authored with other authors, presents a novel method for assessing bridge safety across various conditions and provides a unified framework to evaluate structural robustness under different initiating events and limit states, enabling engineers to make critical design and retrofit decisions.
“I am very grateful to the ASCE for the recognition and congratulate my former students for their outstanding efforts to carry out work that is so critical to ensuring the safety of our bridges,” said Agrawal, who serves as the Herbert G. Kayser Professor of Civil Engineering at The City College of New York.
A Distinguished Member of ASCE, Agrawal has led multiple committees and served as editor for major engineering journals. He has received numerous accolades, including the 2022 New Jersey Department of Transportation Research Implementation Award and the Raymond C. Reese Research Prize.
With over 132 peer-reviewed papers and extensive contributions to bridge engineering, Agrawal continues to shape the future of infrastructure resilience.
The Moisseiff Award, established in 1947, is one of the ASCE’s Structural Engineering Institute’s highest honors, recognizing significant contributions to structural mechanics, applied engineering, and design improvements. Named after structural engineer Leon S. Moisseiff, it acknowledges advancements that impact bridge and frame construction.
