2022 TriDurLE Symposium Student Poster Competition
2022 TriDurLE Symposium on Transportation Infrastructure Innovations for Durability and Resilience
About the Conference
The Transportation Infrastructure Durability and Life Extension Center (TriDurLE) was established in 2019 and is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) through the University Transportation Center (UTC). It is the only national center focused on improving the durability and extending the life of transportation infrastructure. America’s aging infrastructure calls for holistic approaches to infrastructure management. The TriDurLE 2022 Symposium on “Transportation Infrastructure Innovations for Durability and Resilience” is the second annual symposium of this national UTC center. As part of the symposium TriDurLE is organizing a student poster competition.
Student Poster Competition Rules
The objectives of the student poster competition are to promote the study of durability and life extension of transportation infrastructure. In addition, the competition is expected to build professional relationships between students, academia, DOT personnel, consultants, and practitioners.
Student Poster Topics
The student poster topics will include, but are not limited to one or more of the following:
- Management: Asset management and performance management for enhanced durability and life-extension of transportation infrastructure
- Monitoring: Condition monitoring, remote sensing, and the use of GPS for enhanced durability and life-extension of transportation infrastructure
- Addressing corrosion of transportation infrastructure
- Addressing aging and other materials-related durability distresses of transportation infrastructure through the use of new materials, technologies, and construction methodologies.
- Addressing natural hazards and extreme events that threaten the durability and service life of transportation infrastructure
- Intervention and rehabilitation of transportation infrastructure through advanced materials, technologies and construction methodologies
Poster
Students must prepare a 5-slide poster providing an overview of their paper. Along with the poster provide a 5-min video as a short presentation/highlight of the poster. The video could be created using the record option of the 5-slide Powerpoint presentation.
