迈阿密大学（美国佛罗里达州迈阿密）在佛罗里达州工程学会（FES，佛罗里达州塔拉哈西）/佛罗里达州美国工程公司理事会（ACEC-FL，塔拉哈西，佛罗里达州，美国）2018年年会上获得认可。不仅获得了工程卓越奖，还获得了UM创新桥的整体大概念奖。该奖项旨在表彰由土木建筑与环境工程系教授兼主席Antonio Nanni领导的团队，他们为UM校园内座混凝土桥梁的设计和施工所做出的创新和杰出贡献完全加强/预应力复合材料代替钢。

这座桥位于科勒尔盖布尔斯（Coral Gables）校园，长70英尺，将校园与运动场连接起来。该项目提供了在这种结构中使用纤维增强聚合物（FRP）复合材料的可量化的概念证明。大学于2015年11月开始建造这座桥梁; 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.
