SUMMARY:Recent Advances in Measuring Volume of Soil Specimen in Triaxial Testing
DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nRecent Advances in Measuring Volume of Soil Specimen in Triaxial Testing \nTriaxial tests have been widely used for measuring the stress-strain behavior of both saturated and unsaturated soils. Volume/displacement measurement is an indispensable component of the triaxial testing. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review on the existing methods to measure volume change and/or displacement measurements for soil specimen during triaxial testing. Through a comprehensive literature study\, it was concluded that it is still challenging to measure volume change for soil specimen during triaxial testing for both saturated and unsaturated soils. A photogrammetry-based method\, which was proposed by Zhang et al. (2015) to measure the full-field displacement of a soil specimen during triaxial testing\, was then discussed. The principle of the method is discussed\, testing procedures are introduced\, and implementation of the proposed method is elaborated. After that\, some recent advances made in implementing the method are introduced\, such as automation of the computation process through use of coded targets for high accuracy 3D reconstruction\, automatic correction of the incorrect ID and high efficiency ID identification through a newly proposed table method\, and a mathematically rigorous method to determine the locations of the top and bottom pedestals. These new technologies are used to validate the accuracy of the proposed method. The absolute volume\, tilting\, eccentricity\, localized volume and strain calculations can be made which open a new door to more comprehensive evaluation of soil behavior with much higher accuracy and low cost. Discussions are also made regarding how to extend the proposed method for dynamic soil testing using a multi-camera system. \nSpeaker\n\nXiong Zhang\, PhD\, PE Professor\nMissouri University of Science and Technology \nDr. Xiong Zhang is a professor in the Department of Civil\, Architectural\, and Environmental Engineering at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T).

SUMMARY:Carbon-Fiber Tape Based Electrical Deicing System: Experiments\, Field Performance and Application Issues
DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nCarbon-Fiber Tape Based Electrical Deicing System: Experiments\, Field Performance and Application Issues \nIn cold regions\, snow and ice cause serious safety problems to the transportation system.  Southcentral Alaska\, particularly\, Anchorage\, is susceptible to a large number of icing events due to frequent freeze and thaw cycles in the winter season.  Icing on pavement and bridge decks has been a persistent problem. For example\, black ice (or glare ice) forms on roadways with a slick surface is of particular concern because of its near invisibility to drivers\, pilots and pedestrians. Traditional deicing has been accomplished by mechanical\, chemical and thermal methods. These approaches either cause pollution to the environment and corrosion to reinforcing steel bars\, or are too expensive. To find an environment-friendly\, anti-corrosion\, and cost-effective deicing technology for the broader cold regions\, an integrated electrical heating system using carbon fiber tape embedded in concrete as heating element is proposed. This presentaton describes results from field testing of such technology.  The system performance in terms of temperature change\, snow/ice melting time\, and energy usage under various ambient temperature\, wind speed\, snow/ice density and snow/ice thickness are presented. Application issues\, including induced current\, automatic control algorithms\, impact of CFT embedment on the structural integrity of concrete slabs\, survivability of CFT during concrete cracking\, and field performance observation\, will be discussed. The results demonstrate that the carbon fiber tape based deicing system performs well in terms of snow/ice melting time and cost. This new de-icing technology is potentially applicable to bridge decks\, road sections susceptible to icing\, airport runways\, street crossings and frequently used sidewalks in urban areas in cold regions. \nSpeaker\n\nZhaohui (Joey) Yang\, PhD\, Professor\nUniversity of Alaska Anchorage \nProf. Zhaohui (Joey) Yang holds a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from Sichuan University\, China and a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California\, Davis. He joined the faculty of the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) in June 2003 and is currently Professor and Director of Geotechnical and Frozen Ground Engineering Research Laboratory. Prof. Yang is Associate Editor of ASCE J. of Cold Regions Engineering and an editorial board member of Cold Regions Science and Technology\, Sciences in Cold and Arid Regions\, and J. of Infrastructure Resilience and Preservation. Prof. Yang’s research interests focus on geotechnical earthquake engineering\, frozen ground engineering\, and de-icing\, with an emphasis on sustainable engineering and climate change effects.

SUMMARY:Post-Earthquake Assessment of Bridge Columns Using AI Enabled Computer Vision
DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nPost-Earthquake Assessment of Bridge Columns Using AI Enabled Computer Vision \nModern seismic design codes ensure a large displacement capacity and prevent total collapse for bridges.  However\, this performance objective is usually attained at the cost of damage to target ductile members.  For reinforced concrete (RC) bridges\, the columns are usually the main source of ductility during an earthquake in which concrete cover\, core\, and reinforcement may damage\, and the column may experience a large permanent lateral deformation.  The main goal of this project was to accelerate post-earthquake RC bridge column inspection using “computer vision”.  Instead of sending trained personnel to the affect sites\, local personnel equipped with an assessment software built-in a drone\, as a mobile application\, or as a cloud-based tool can be deployed to evaluate the bridge condition.  An artificial intelligence (AI) enabled software was developed based on a photograph database of RC bridge columns to quickly detect cracking\, spalling\, and reinforcement\, to comment on the RC column damage state\, and to tag (green\, yellow\, or red) the column/bridge based on the extent of the damage.  The software performs both preliminary damage assessment (PDA) and detailed damage assessment (DDA) using a few column parameters and provides a reasonable accuracy with a safe assessment.  The presentation highlights the key finding of the study. \nSpeaker\n\nMostafa Tazarv\, PhD\, PE Associate Professor\nSouth Dakota State University \nDr. Mostafa Tazarv\, PE\, is an associate professor in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at South Dakota State University (SDSU).  Prior to joining SDSU in 2015\, Dr. Tazarv was a post-doctoral scholar at the University of Nevada\, Reno\, where he also received his Ph.D.  His research interests include the behavior of concrete structures\, advanced materials for civil infrastructure\, accelerated bridge construction\, large-scale testing. \n

SUMMARY:Forterra Resilience & Sustainability Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Presentation \nSustainability is key to building a brighter future for our families and our communities. What we do today affects tomorrow. This presentation covers the three pillars of sustainability\, and provides principles of resilience to support our efforts to build a sustainable infrastructure. In terms of environmental sustainability\, this means being conscious of our world and the environment we live in. For economic sustainability it means looking beyond this year’s budget and evaluating true cost of ownership. For societal sustainability\, it means limiting delays and improving social convenience while keeping user safety a top priority. Lastly\, an integral part of sustainability is ensuring that our infrastructure is resilient enough to resist and defend our communities from present and future threats. Coming from the drainage world\, the presenter will offer comparisons and case studies based on storm drainage products on the market today. This presentation is based on researched performed by a task group composed of member companies of the American Concrete Pipe Association\, of which Joseph Updike co-led. \nAbout the Speaker \n\nJoseph Updike (EIT) is a Technical Resource Engineer with Forterra\, the largest precast concrete pipe manufacturer in North America. Joseph specializes in providing lunch and learns\, resources\, and support for DOTs\, municipalities\, and consultants.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Evaluating Sidewalk Infrastructure & Prioritizing Investment
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Title\nEVALUATING SIDEWALK INFRASTRUCTURE & PRIORITIZING INVESTMENT \nSpeaker(s)\nWes Marshall with Nick Coppola\, University of Colorado Denver \nWebinar Abstract\nThis project leverages advances in technology and increasing access to high-resolution remote sensing and spatial data to develop methods for inventorying sidewalk characteristics and static obstructions across an entire major city. In part 1 of this effort\, we analyze city-scale sidewalk availability\, width\, and land coverage calculated from spatial data from aerial imagery (planimetrics). We then determine how much of a difference accounting for static obstructions makes when measuring the clear width of sidewalks in one city. Part 2 then combines planimetric sidewalk data with vehicle and pedestrian trip big data to develop a methodology to prioritize city areas in need of pedestrian infrastructure attention. \nThe results show an overall deficiency of sidewalks and indicate that deriving sidewalk availability\, average width\, and minimum clear width are feasible at the city scale. Moreover\, the results suggest a significant decrease in the average clear width of sidewalks when accounting for static obstructions. Not accounting for static obstructions could lead to a gross overestimation of seemingly adequate sidewalks and an unrealistic assessment of sidewalk infrastructure and pedestrian accessibility. We then present a feasible and efficient method to prioritize pedestrian infrastructure in a city. \nPrimarily due to a lack of data\, academic literature has scant research on sidewalks. In this project\, we leveraged advances in remote sensing to bridge the data and research gap on pedestrian infrastructure in cities. These results will help cities that are lacking information rectify an unprecedented backlog of deteriorating pedestrian infrastructure. \nAbout the Speaker\nWes Marshall is a Professor of Civil Engineering and affiliate faculty in Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Colorado Denver\, director of the CU Denver Transportation Research Center\, and co-director of the Active Communities/Transportation (ACT) research group.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Corrosion Propagation of Carbon Steel Rebars in Concrete
DESCRIPTION:All webinars are Pacific Time\nWebinar Title\nCorrosion Propagation of Carbon Steel Rebars in Concrete \nFrancisco Presuel-Moreno\nSpeaker\nFrancisco Presuel-Moreno\, Professor and Director of Graduate Programs\, Florida Atlantic University Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering \nWebinar Abstract\nThere have been reports that suggest that the rebar corrosion rate (once corrosion has initiated) is lower on concrete with higher resistivity (i.e.\, containing supplementary cementitious materials). This in part might be due to a smaller macrocell and smaller throwing power. However\, it is not clear if the resistivity (or solution resistance) changes as corrosion progresses. Specimens with binary and ternary concrete mixtures were prepared in 2016. Single rebar specimens were reinforced with a #3 rebar and have 0.75 cm concrete cover; other specimens were prepared with three #4 rebars with a 1.25 cm concrete cover. Electromigration was used to accelerate chloride transport\, and corrosion typically initiated after a few weeks\, but in a few cases\, it took a few months. The effect of rebar length under the reservoir and concrete composition was investigated. This webinar presents monitoring of these samples during the corrosion propagation stage. Galvanostatic pulse was used to determine the corrosion current. The corrosion current\, solution resistance and rebar potential have been monitored for over 1500 days. The webinar will also include analysis of the corrosion extent found on rebars from samples terminated after 24 years of exposure outdoors and with the samples subjected to wet/dry cycles with seawater. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:"Development and Testing of Autonomous Vehicle Technology for Transportation Infrastructure Maintenance" By Dr. XB Hu
DESCRIPTION:View a Recording of This Webinar \nDevelopment and Testing of Autonomous Vehicle Technology for Transportation Infrastructure Maintenance \nMobile and slow-moving operations\, such as striping\, sweeping\, bridge flushing\, and pothole patching\, are critical for efficient and safe operation of a highway transportation system. However\, reducing hazards for roadway workers and achieving a safer environment for both roadway maintenance operators and the public have been a challenging problem. In 2017 alone\, a total of 158\,000 total crashes occurred in our nation’s work zones\, accounting for 61\,000 injuries. The Autonomous Truck Mounted Attenuator (ATMA) vehicle\, sometimes referred to as an Autonomous Impact Protection Vehicle (AIPV)\, offers a promising solution to eliminate injuries to Department of Transportation (DOT) employees. \nIn this webinar\, we will present how to use Autonomous Vehicle technology for work zone maintenance\, for the purpose of protecting DOT maintenance workers from potential crashes. We will also present the evaluation methodology for the ATMA system\, as well as the field-testing outcomes in Sedalia\, MO. We hope this webinar will be helpful for transportation agencies that are interested in deploying similar technologies\, or for academic researchers to assess characteristics of autonomous vehicles and to apply knowledge gained in transportation modeling and simulation practices. \nAbout the Presenter  \nDr. XB Hu is currently an Assistant Professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Arizona in 2013 and was a founding team member and the Director of R&D at Metropia Inc. at Tucson AZ. His research focuses on smart transportation systems\, transportation big data analytics\, and traffic flow and system modeling. He is supporting Missouri DOT\, Colorado DOT\, and a pool-fund with 12 state DOT members to test and deploy autonomous maintenance technology in the United States.

SUMMARY:Invited Speaker Webinar Series with M. Saiid Saiidi\,  PhD\, PE.\,  University of Reno Nevada
DESCRIPTION:10:00 a.m. Pacific Time\n  \nTopic: “Seismic Performance of ABC (accelerated bridge construction) Bridge Systems”\nDeployment of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) in high seismic zones has faced resistance due to uncertainties on seismic performance of connections between prefabricated bridge elements.  Research on development and evaluation of earthquake-resistant connections appropriate for ABC began to a limited extent over 15 years ago and intensified over the past decade.  By necessity\, studies were mostly focused on component connections (known as ABC connections) such as column-footing\, column cap beam\, and superstructure cap beam linkage.  While the results of these studies identified appropriate details and led to preliminary design guidelines\, questions still remained on the holistic seismic performance of bridges incorporating ABC connections.  Several bridge system studies in recent years have provided answers and have led to increased confidence in ABC in high seismic zones.  The presentation discusses a number of the more promising connections and how they were integrated into three\, large-scale two-span bridges tested on shake tables of the University of Nevada\, Reno.  The results also shed light on the relative performance of different types of ABC connections for concrete girder and steel girder bridges with a variety of column connections. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Saiidi is an emeritus professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Director of Center for Advanced Technology in Bridges and Infrastructure at the University of Nevada\, Reno.  He is also a distinguished research faculty at the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, and a principal at Infrastructure Innovation\, LLC\, Reno\, Nevada.  He has published over 500 papers and reports and given over 400 presentations\, many as a keynote speaker in over 30 countries.  Professor Saiidi’s research has been funded by the US National Science Foundation\, Federal Highway Administration\, US Department of Transportation\, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program\, the California\, Nevada\, and Washington Departments of Transportation\, and industries.  Professor Saiidi’s primary research focus has been on experimental and analytical studies of seismic response of reinforced concrete bridges\, seismic retrofit\, resiliency with novel materials\, seismic response and design of precast bridges\, and probabilistic design for seismic damage control.  He has received many awards for his research including the Outstanding Researcher Award\, Established Innovator Award\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Distinguished Alumni Award among others.  He is a registered engineer in California and Nevada\, and a member of the Mexican National Academy of Engineering. \n\n

SUMMARY:Invited Speaker Series Webinar with Dr. Alan Jeary of STRAAM Group
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Title: “Recent experience with decoding information from the performance of structures”\nSpeaker: Dr. Alan Jeary\, STRAAM Group \nThe talk will discuss the use of low amplitude measurements of dynamic behavior to establish a risk ratio for a structure. This approach has been applied to buildings successfully and to a small number of bridges. The principles are based on well established techniques that have been used for several decades. What is new is the ability to analyze both the frequency response and the associated damping ratio for their non-linear characteristics. Armed with this type of analysis it is possible to establish the comparison of the ‘as is’ behavior with that required by code. Additionally\, the use of the low amplitude response makes it possible to make the measurements without any closure of lanes of traffic. Further\, it is possible for the individual risk associated with individual bridges to be established quickly\, and after any incident (e.g. wind storm\, earthquake or gradual deterioration) to establish the changes in the risk ratio compared with the time at which the original measurements and analysis were made. Outliers\, as identified in the Infrastructure Report Card (by the ASCE) can be easily identified. This information can inform the managers of a city so that a data based assessment of resilience can be made quickly\, efficiently and with precision. Such an approach can also be used to identify those bridges that have a higher risk associated with their condition\, and allows maintenance and remediation to be based on informed decision making. \nAbout the Speaker\n\n  \nDr. Alan Jeary has over 35 years of experience in the management and performance of investigation services\, structural engineering services and wind engineering for a broad range of critical infrastructure projects throughout the world.  His many professional highlights include the Telford Gold Medal from the Institution of Civil Engineers\, United Kingdom in 1981. Dr. Jeary holds two doctorates (a PhD and a Higher doctorate\, both from University College London) and has published over 300 papers on various studies and analysis of structures to establish their dynamic characteristics.  Dr. Jeary helped establish the Australia\, Hong Kong and new Euro-codes for wind and he has served on numerous engineering committees.  He has taught at several universities\, and has held chairs in Hong Kong and Australia as well as a visiting position in Tokyo). He has also consulted for the largest structural engineering firms in the world. During the last year Dr. Jeary and his company were awarded a Professional excellence award by the Australian Institute of Building for work on the subject of today’s talk. He holds numerous professional registrations and was made an officer of the order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday honours 2015\, for services to engineering.

SUMMARY:Webinar with Invited Speaker Jason Weiss
DESCRIPTION:Documentation of Bridge Deck Construction Using Industrially Produced Internally Cured\, High Performance Concrete\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nView a PDF of this presentation \nThe Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) commissioned the construction of bridge decks using an internally cured concrete designed to achieve an increase in durability through reductions in ionic transport and potential for cracking.  In an effort to improve the durability\, a blended cementitious system containing ordinary portland cement\, fly ash or slag\, and silica fume was specified for use at moderate water-to-cementitious materials ratios\, of less than 0.43.  Since higher performance concretes show an increased susceptibility for shrinkage cracking\, the process of internal curing using a pre-wetted fine lightweight aggregate was used to reduce the potential for cracking.  This presentation presents a case study on the construction of these internally cured\, high performance concrete bridge decks with a focus on its impact of implementation on practice.  Basic testing results such as strength and stiffness will be presented with a focus on the lack of necessity for revisions to code equations or design practices due to the presence of internal curing.  In addition\, a new quality control technique for the rapid determination of lightweight aggregate moisture states will be reviewed while recommendations for the daily field implementation of internally cured concrete will also be presented.  This research is intended to provide a succinct overview of the successful field implementation of internally cured concrete\, which offers the potential to produce concrete that may have a lower susceptibility to cracking\, leading to realized improvements in the service life of high performance concretes. \nAbout the Speaker:\nJason Weiss is the Edwards Distinguished Chair in Engineering and the Director of the Kiewit Center for Infrastructure and Transportation Research.

SUMMARY:Invited Speaker Webinar with Dr. Changqing Gong
DESCRIPTION:This webinar has been postponed.\n  \nTitle: System Reliability Analysis of Corroded Pipeline Segments\nCorrosion is among the most frequent threat to the safety and sustainability of aging transmission pipelines under high operating pressure. The potential substantial consequence of pipeline corrosion-induced burst failure in terms of fatalities\, service interruptions\, and economic losses lead to the increasing adoption of risk-based solutions by pipeline operators to prioritize maintenance of pipeline segments and demonstrate compliance with regulations. Existing risk approaches are primarily on a defect-by-defect basis without consideration of spatial dependence of corrosion defects on a pipeline segment.  Efficient reliability methods for detailed system-level probabilistic modelling are needed to better support segment-based pipeline maintenance. This presentation will 1) discuss the development of an efficient system reliability method subjected to random process deterioration and loading\, based on first order reliability method\, and 2) illustrate its application to assessment of probability of failure of corroding pipeline segments. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Changqing Gong received his B.A from Yantai University in 2010\, his M.S in School of Civil Engineering at Tongji University\, China in 2013\, and his Ph.D in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Western University\, Canada in 2017.  After working as a technical lead at a pipeline risk consulting firm\, JANA Corporation\, for less than a year\, he joined Lehigh University as a postdoctoral research associate in 2018.  Starting from December\, 2020\, he will work as Associate Professor with the School of Ocean Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology\, Weihai\, China. His research interests include state-of-art reliability analysis of large-scale systems and risk-based integrity management of energy pipelines and naval structures\, aimed at providing technical support and economically optimal solutions for structural risk management in the energy\, marine\, and insurance industry. His research outcomes have been published in top journals\, including Structural Safety\, Reliability Engineering and System Safety\, Journal of Engineering Mechanics-ASCE\, Journal of Structural Engineering-ASCE\, and Engineering Structures.

SUMMARY:Best Practices to Evaluate\, Rehabilitate\, and Replace Local Road Bridges
DESCRIPTION:View a PDF of this presentation  \nView the video of this presentation \n  \nDr. Mostafa Tazarv of South Dakota State University. Dr. Tazarv is an assistant professor in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at South Dakota State University (SDSU). Prior to joining SDSU in 2015\, Dr. Tazarv was a post-doctoral scholar at the University of Nevada\, Reno. His research interests include the behavior of concrete structures\, advanced materials for civil infrastructure\, accelerated bridge construction\, and large-scale testing.  His research has led to the development of a new generation of bridges that can be built faster\, last longer\, perform better in severe events\, and cost less in long-term. The first shape memory alloy (SMA) bridge in the world was constructed in Seattle\, in which design and construction guidelines were based on his study on advanced materials. The unique aspect of this bridge is its continuous functionality after severe events with minimal damage and repair needs. Furthermore\, his large- and full-scale testing of bridges and buildings resulted in new design alternatives for the State of South Dakota and its local governments to save millions of dollars in bridge replacement\, maintenance\, and performance. He also invented a new connection for concrete structures to expedite construction and to quickly repair concrete buildings after a severe event such as earthquake or hurricane.
