Innovative Bridge Design
As a senior, Kim Danziger (CE ’75) designed a bridge based on an orthotropic deck design with trapezoidal ribs that originated in post-World War II Europe. Later, he applied the design when helping to expand and renovate the famed Golden Gate Bridge. Today, he builds green residential developments in Newtown.
