“Resilience of Post-Tensioned Box Girders“
Presented by Brian Merrill, PE
Register at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2032394914108066910
The webinar will review lessons learned from the evaluation of in-service bridges in corrosive environments, historical construction practices, damage from fire incidents, and planned demolition. Do you know how the service life of post-tensioned box girders has been impacted by historical construction practices? Can you evaluate the impact of grout voids on the performance of PT tendons? Here is an opportunity to learn from our expert Brian Merrill, PE, who has almost 40 years of experience in the design, construction and maintenance of post-tensioned concrete bridges.

“Intro to Precast Prestressed Concrete Piles for Deep Foundations”
Presented by Roy Eriksson, Jim Parkins, Catrina Walter, Justin Yard
PCPs are the preferred choice for durable and resilient deep foundations in building, bridge, and marine applications. Attendees will learn about the raw materials and production process, handling and installation, and an overview of design considerations throughout the life cycle of PCPs. This course will also feature case studies illustrating the successful use of PCPs.

“Truck platoons and understanding the impact of heavy loads on prestressed concrete girders”
Presented by Jay Puckett, PhD and Joshua Steelman, PhD
This webinar reflects on the history of the stress limitation approach and how that may impose unnecessary limitations on platooning operations. Reliability indices associated with different load levels will be discussed. The research performed on platooning will help guide structural design in the future.

“Mastering Bridge Geometry: Insights into Precast Concrete Segmental“
Presented by John Corven, PE
Since their introduction more than 50 years ago concrete segmental bridges have played an important part in our infrastructure. Specialized casting and construction methods have produced cost-effective bridges that are adaptable to any highway geometry or site constraints. This online seminar covers segmental geometry, span lengths, construction methods, casting methods, and ASBI resources.
