These bridges consist of two steel box girders\, frequently trapezoidal shaped\, composite with a concrete deck\, and are very effective for curved ramps and connectors in multi-level interchanges. FCMs must be fabricated according to American Welding Society (AWS) D1.5 Fracture Control Plan\, which requires more testing\, certification\, and base metal requirements during fabrication. They also require hands-on inspections every two years or less during the service life of the bridge. Oftentimes\, these inspections are performed at night\, on roadways with high traffic volumes\, which require costly traffic control and lane closures\, exposing the public to reduced safety inherent with traffic control. \nThanks to recent research\, a simplified method for evaluating system redundancy in two-tub girder span bridges has been added to the state’s bridge policy and accepted by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The TxDOT Bridge Design Manual-LRFD now presents a LRFD based methodology to design new steel twin tub girder spans to demonstrate that they possess adequate redundancy\, so that members gain a system redundant member (SRM) designation instead of a FCM designation. This presentation will discuss the background and definition of system redundant members (SRMs)\, redundancy case studies\, research\, implementation\, and future plans. \nSpeakers\n \nJamie F. Farris PE is the Deputy Director of the Bridge Division at Texas Department of Transportation. In her role\, she assists in overseeing operations that include planning assistance\, geotechnical and structural plan preparation\, construction and maintenance assistance\, safety inspection and PS&E review. Ms. Farris graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BS in Architectural Engineering and an MS in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Structures. Ms. Farris has served as the past Chair of the Texas Steel Quality Council and is the committee Chair of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Steel Bridges Committee AKB20. She is also a member of the AASHTO Committee on Bridges and Structures (COBS)\, where she serves as a technical committee member on T-10 Concrete Design and T-14 Structural Steel Design committees. \nCost\nMember $25   |   Nonmember $75   |   Government $15   |   Student FREE \nRegistration URL:https://www.texasce.org/event/webinar-may11/ CATEGORIES:Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.texasce.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-Dec17-Webinar-Email2-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Texas%20Section":MAILTO:office@texasce.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210512T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210512T130000 DTSTAMP:20210522T022420 CREATED:20210505T170554Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210505T170629Z UID:7597-1620820800-1620824400@www.texasce.org SUMMARY:Houston Branch May Technical Session 1 DESCRIPTION:The Texas Section invites you to join the ASCE Houston Branch for their next technical session on Wednesday\, May 12\, 2021. \nWhen: 12:00 – 1:00 PM CT \nWhere: Virtual (GoToWebinar) \nCost: Free \nSession: “How to Work Within Harris County Flood Control District Right-of-Way” by Jason Wilkinson (Manager of Development Coordination and Inspection Department for Harris County Flood Control District) \nThis presentation will help educate the professional engineers\, developers\, and contractors within Harris County on what steps need to be completed prior to conducting construction projects within Harris County Flood Control District right-of-way.

Asphalt pavements are 100 percent recyclable. Asphalt pavement is the most recycled product in the world. To incorporate renewed in situ pavement practices\, creative methods and acronyms were developed including FDR\, RAP\, and CCPR; or full depth reclamation\, recycled asphalt pavement\, and Cold Central Plant Recycling\, respectively. In addition to discussing these sustainable practices\, we will touch on material types\, design technique\, and construction tips to improve service life and reduce maintenance costs. The importance of yet another acronym VMA\, or voids in mineral aggregates\, in recycled asphalt will be outlined with effective maneuvers\, both in the lab and field to achieve higher VMA. Unstable subgrades and varying quality of materials can wreak havoc on recycling projects. Therefore\, we will equip you with mitigation methods for dealing with poor subgrades\, combined with effective methods of in place density and appropriate compaction. \nSpeakers\nScott Sounart PE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScott has more than 30 years of experience in the design\, management\, and construction of civil projects of many types\, including roadways\, bridges\, and airports.

The ASCE 7-16 Standard – Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures is an integral part of the building codes in the United States since it describes the means for determining design loads and combinations for structural design of buildings and other structures. It is referenced in the IBC and the IRC which have been widely adopted in most of the United States. This presentation is focused on the Wind Changes from the 2010 to the 2016 edition of the ASCE 7 standard specifically Chapters 26 to 31 where guidance is given for Main Wind Force Resisting System (MWFRS)\, Components and Cladding (C&C)\, as well as different types of structures. \nDue to ongoing research\, better technology to track the effects of wind on structures\, and learning from past events\, these codes are always evolving. We have broken down the updates and changes into three sections: The Fundamental Changes to ASCE 7-16 that are mainly covered in Chapter 26 of the code; review additional provisions that have been added to the code for different types of structures\, as well as Components and Cladding wind design; and lastly we will cover the new Tornado Design guidelines that have been added to ASCE 7 and how they may be used in design.

Many needed utility attributes are missed when surveying for highway design which requires surveyors to be remobilized and adds time to the identification of conflicts between proposed design features which may require relocations or “avoid in place” measures. Common overlooked items or unidentified precise shot points will be covered to avoid scope gaps and miscommunication of the needed data to be collected in above ground surveys. \nSpeakers\n \nJesse Cooper RPLS is a Senior Utility Project Manager with HDR Engineering providing Utility Adjustment Coordination with 30+ years of project administration\, surveying\, coordination\, QA/QC and project controls experience.  He has a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M University and is a Registered Surveyor.  His career has centered on all aspects of utility coordination/utility engineering/utility relocation/surveying/SUE/ utility inspection.  Jesse has provided leadership for the HDR team on Projects such as the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project in Pennsylvania for the utility relocation analysis of over 500 bridges\, update of the North Carolina Utility Manual and preparing Utility Training Materials for South Carolina.  As the former TXDOT Section Director of the Map\, Survey\, & Utility Section\, Jesse provided oversight of the Mapping/Surveying Program and the Utility Program relocating utilities for transportation projects. He also served on the TxDOT Committee for Geomatics and Surveying. He was part of the team presented the FHWA 2006 Utility Outstanding Achievement Award in the Category of Utility SUE (Subsurface Utility Engineering) and the 2003 Streamlining and Innovation Honorable Mention Award.
