Short Courses

Tuesday, February 25, 2020

FULL-DAY SHORT COURSES8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Behavior and Design of Energy Geostructures: From Theory to PracticeInstructor: Guney OlgunEnergy geostructures are deep foundation elements and earth structures that serve as heat exchangers to utilize the ground for heating and cooling of buildings. These thermo-active foundation elements such as deep foundations, diaphragm walls, slab-on-grade foundations and tunnels in contact with the ground act as preferential pathways to extract heat in the winter and inject heat in the summer. The use of energy geostructures for utilizing the ground as a thermal energy source presents unique challenges and opportunities for the geotechnical engineering profession including thermo-hydro-mechanical characterization of soil behavior and evaluation of soil-foundation interaction as a result of induced temperature changes. The main objective of this proposed is to provide an educational and training platform on this emerging topic. The content of the will be balanced to attract the interests of a wide range of conference attendees, including academics and geotechnical engineering professionals.

Geotechnical Aspects of Pavement Design and Construction Instructor: Halil CeylanThe new AASHTO mechanistic-empirical pavement design procedure implemented in the AASHTOware Pavement ME Design software incorporates significant improvements in material characterization, climate effects, performance prediction, and other elements of pavement design. This course covers the latest methods and procedures for addressing the geotechnical issues in pavement design, construction, and performance for new construction, reconstruction, and rehabilitation pavement projects and contrasts the new mechanistic-empirical aspects with older empirical pavement design techniques. Additional topics include the design and construction of pavement subgrades and unbound materials; special geotechnical issues such as compaction, geosynthetics, and problem soils; drainage; and subgrade stabilization and working platform design. This is an abridged version of the three-day National Highway Institute Course 132040 Geotechnical Aspects of Pavement Design. It is offered under the auspices of the ASCE Geo-Institute Pavements Committee.

MSE Wall Design, Construction and Asset Management Best PracticesInstructor: Keith Brabant, P.E.While MSE Walls have become a common solution for earth retention, the knowledge of how MSE walls are contracted, designed, constructed, and inspected is not well understood by the civil engineering community nor is their long-term performance. Specialty designers and suppliers have in depth knowledge of the issues related to their products; owners have concerns about the inspection and durability of products, and engineers have questions on the various potential failure modes (internal, external, compound and global) as well as performance of MSE walls in extreme events. In many cases the Geotechnical Engineer of Record is not the MSE wall designer for the project, introducing additional complexity to projects. Furthermore, differences in design and construction of MSE walls occur on highway projects versus commercial projects. The risks involved to all parties and to the public due to these essential components of modern infrastructure necessitate cross-cutting science and best practices.The session will bring together researchers, practitioners and owners to present the best practices and lessons learned during the past 48 years of MSE wall use in the United States. New techniques for inspection, innovations in materials and design as well recommendations for design and construction practices will be presented.

Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) WorkshopOrganizers/Presenters: Jason DeJong, Michael Gomez, Doug Nelson, Katerina Ziotopoulou, Brina Montoya, Leon van PaassenThis innovation workshop will be presented with digital course materials and is being developed for a target audience of young professional researchers and practitioners, faculty, and both graduate and undergraduate students.Interest in the field of bio-mediated ground improvement technologies has grown dramatically over the past few decades. Specifically, advances in microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) in meter-scale field trials are providing insight regarding the fundamental science governing bio-cementation in soils. Researchers and industry practitioners in this emerging field will provide the most recent developments regarding MICP technology. The workshop will (1) provide sufficient technical background knowledge to enable new researchers to enter this research field more effectively, (2) discuss standardizing methods, protocols, and procedures among researchers to improve research efficiency and collective progress and capabilities, (3) inform industry practitioners of the capabilities and opportunities this new technology provides, and (4) identify challenges and topics which merit future research.

Stability & Stabilization of Natural and Man-Made Slopes with Climate ChangeInstructor: Daniel PradelThis will present recent advances on landslide behavior, unsaturated soil mechanics, shear strength, two- and three-dimensional slope stability analyses, slope stabilization, and analyses and the impact(s) of climate change on slope stability. These advances are contributing to a better understanding of landslide mechanisms and improved methods of analysis, hazard identification, risk assessment, and stabilization. The will focus on landslide triggering, stability analyses, and runout of the slide mass. It will first discuss the technical aspects of these topics and then illustrate the use of the technical information with a number of case histories.

MORNING SHORT COURSES8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Ground Modification Methods and Their Recent DevelopmentsInstructor: Vernon R. SchaeferThis course will provide training on the design of several ground modification methods including the latest FHWA/NHI Ground Modification Reference Manual published in April 2017 with updates on recent developments. The course will give a brief overview of ground modification methods commonly used in practice, provide guidelines for selection of appropriate ground modification methods for projects, and focus on densification methods (e.g., intelligent compaction, dynamic compaction, and vibro-compaction), rigid inclusions/column-supported embankments with and without geosynthetic reinforcement, and consolidation methods (e.g., preloading, surcharge preloading, and vacuum preloading). Included will be a short discussion of the ASCE Geo-Institute-sponsored China Scan Tour on the latest ground modification methods used in China.

Implementation of Geotechnical Asset ManagementInstructor: Mark VesselyThis half-day course will introduce the concepts of asset management for retaining walls, slopes, embankments, and subgrades and provide example workflows and tools that can be used to begin asset management immediately. The course will include examples for developing the asset inventory, assessing performance and risk, and developing treatment and investment plans. The implementation framework presented in the course can be adapted by each agency to develop a simple asset management system for a resource-limited agency to implement asset management without a sizable upfront program investment.

Short Courses (continued)

Insights from Geotechnical Reliability-Based Design to Enhance Partial Factor Design MethodsInstructor: B.K. LowGeotechnical design approach has evolved over the years fom the global factor of safety approach to the recent partial factor design methods Like the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and the Eurocode 7 (EC7). Yet another design method which can overcome certain limitations and ambiguities of the evolving LRFD and EC7 is reliability-based design (RBD) using the first-order reliability method (FORM). This will enable students, academics, professionals, practitioners, and researchers to understand the meaning, procedures and merits of R.BD-via-FORM (and how it can improve L.RFD and EC7). Insightful geotechnical RBD-via-FORM examples in soil and rock engineering are presented, including bearing capacity of spread footing, laterally loaded piles, retaining walls, soil slopes, rock slopes containing discontinuity planes, and tunnels in jointed rock mass. The similarities and differences between RBD-via-FORM and the partial factor design methods (LRFD and EC7) will be explained. The statistical estimation of soil properties will also be discussed.

Innovative Use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) in I,E, +M of civil I+geo-constructionInstructor: Malay Ghose HajraThis will cover different types of UAS and innovative use of sensors in UAS for civil infrastructure and geo-construction projects. The course will also briefly inform the participants of FAA regulations and standards related to the safe and legal operation of UAS in the national airspace system. Examples of real-world geo-construction projects and application of drone technology will be deliberated. If facility allows, the participants may also get hands-on UAS flying opportunity in a controlled environment during the short course.

AFTERNOON SHORT COURSES1:00 – 5:00 p.m.

Analysis of Seismic CPT Data to Derive Shear Wave Velocity ProfilesInstructor: Gerald VerbeekWhen it comes to analyzing seismic cone penetration test (CPT) data many practitioners still visually identify first arrival times and then assume straight ray paths to calculate the shear wave interval velocities. When they encounter negative relative arrival times (i.e., the first arrival at a greater depth precedes that at a shallower depth) the data is considered unreliable, and the fact that seismic waves don't travel in straight lines is ignored. Consequently the derived results are not necessarily correct. This course will present more advanced analysis methods that take into account actual ray paths (based on Fermat's principle), which will allow the attendee to generate more accurate interval velocity profiles.

Design of Structural Compacted Fills for Better PerformanceInstructor: Iraj NooranyThis covers a new and innovative approach for selecting design specifications for compaction of structural fills. Many structures such as residential or commercial buildings are constructed on compacted fills sometimes more than 30 m (100 ft.) deep, and with a uniform compaction specifications throughout the fill. Post-construction wetting from precipitation and landscape irrigation can cause significant heave, settlement, and lateral expansion of compacted fills and slopes. The first part of this course will review the mechanics of wetting-induced heave, settlement, and lateral extension of compacted fills. The second part will describe a method for performance-based selection of different compaction specifications for different fill zones that can reduce long-term fill deformation and mitigate post-construction damages.

Installation, Monitoring, and Analysis of Embedded DataInstructor: Donald RobertsonUntil recently, accurate long-term measurement of strain, temperature, corrosion potential, and other variables in concrete deep foundations and superstructure elements has been difficult and costly. However, advancements in sensor technology and wireless data transmission has simplified data acquisition, increased reliability, improved accuracy, and reduced costs. Technology is now available that provides long-term measurements which can be accessed in real time for in-service structures through a cloud-based system allowing owners and other stakeholders the ability to maintain and analyze records of pre-stress level, post-tensioning level, corrosion, temperature, and other engineering properties of interest. This will teach how embedded data collectors (EDCs) can be utilized in projects, how to ensure a quality installation, and how to optimize their installation locations. It will also provide guidance on how the data can be used to optimize future designs, assist with structural evaluations, and minimize the disruptions caused by extreme events.

An Introduction to Earthquake Engineering Computer SimulationInstructor: Augusto Lucarelli Civil, geotechnical, and mining construction has always occurred in seismically active areas throughout history. Today we have the tools capable of simulating the behavior of excavations and structures subjected to such powerful forces and to mitigate these hazards. This four-hour course will introduce key elements involved in preparing, using, and analyzing computer models simulating seismic loads on earthworks and geotechnical structures using FLAC and FLAC3D software. The first one-hour of the session will be an overview of the modeling approaches, available material models, and site data requirements. This will be followed by review and discussion of project cases showing the work flow starting from property assessment all the way to result interpretation. The project cases include a wharf, liquefaction mitigation with jet grouting, a tailings dam, and a foundation. Topics such soil-structure interaction, liquefaction potential, and the calibration and validation of models from site measurements may also be briefly touched on during discussion.
