邁阿密大學（美國佛羅里達州邁阿密）在佛羅里達州工程學會（FES，佛羅里達州塔拉哈西）/佛羅里達州美國工程公司理事會（ACEC-FL，塔拉哈西，佛羅里達州，美國）2018年年會上獲得認可。不僅獲得了工程卓越獎，還獲得了UM創新橋的整體大概念獎。該獎項旨在表彰由土木建筑與環境工程系教授兼主席Antonio Nanni領導的團隊，他們為UM校園內座混凝土橋梁的設計和施工所做出的創新和杰出貢獻完全加強/預應力復合材料代替鋼。

這座橋位于科勒爾蓋布爾斯（Coral Gables）校園，長70英尺，將校園與運動場連接起來。該項目提供了在這種結構中使用纖維增強聚合物（FRP）復合材料的可量化的概念證明。大學于2015年11月開始建造這座橋梁; 它于2016年5月完成。

The University of Miami (Miami, FL, US) was recognized at the Florida Engineering Society (FES, Tallahassee, FL, US)/American Council of Engineering Companies of Florida (ACEC-FL, Tallahassee, FL, US) 2018 Annual Conference and received not only the Engineering Excellence Award but also the overall Grand Conceptor Award for the UM Innovation Bridge. The awards recognize the team – led by Antonio Nanni, professor and chair of the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering – for their innovations and outstanding contributions to the design and construction of the first concrete bridge on the UM campus entirely reinforced/prestressed with composite materials instead of steel.

The bridge, which is on the Coral Gables campus, is 70 ft long and connects the campus to the athletic fields. The project provides quantifiable proof of concept of the use of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) composites in such structures. The University began construction of the bridge in November 2015; it was completed in May 2016.
