SUMMARY:Concrete Pipe & Pipe Design
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Frisco 1 \nSpeakers:  Trevis Hanson\, C.E.T. – Canada Concrete Pipe & Precast Association \nPresentation Description\nConcrete pipes are the backbone of our precast industry. Concrete Pipe and Pipe Design presentation starts with a walk thru the early years of the use of concrete by the Romans and shows the evolution towards the multiple applications that use concrete pipes nowadays. Then I bring people back to the basics and explain what is precast concrete and the 2 concrete types used to manufacture concrete pipes\, concrete properties\, and standards. \nNow that the basic knowledge is established\, I move to the basis of concrete pipes: terminology\, design basic concepts\, comparison of the behaviour of rigid pipe vs a flexible pipe underground\, the difference in the installation standards for both pipes\, and then I highlight the 2 design methodologies for the concrete pipe which takes me to explain the 3EB-test and the reinforcement placement and manufacturing. \nThen\, the presentation moves to the design part: I explain the 5 basic steps to design a concrete pipe using the indirect design method and I do a live demo of a design in pipepac. \nLastly\, a brief mention cracks and crack assessment. \nSpeaker Bio\nTrevis Hanson is a Certified Engineering Technologist registered in the Province of Alberta in Canada. \nHe graduated from the Lethbridge Community College in Southern Alberta in the late 1990’s with 2 technology diplomas. In 1998 he began working with a Consulting Engineer as a Bridge Technologist. His duties included the hydraulic design of bridges and culverts\, structural inspections of bridges and culverts\, and construction inspection of roads and bridges. \nIn 2005\, he was hired by a Contractor in Alberta as a Project Manager and Estimator for their bridge construction group. In 2009\, he moved across Canada\, to Ontario\, to work as a Project Manager for a sewer and watermain Contractor. As a Contractor\, Trevis was responsible for the delivery of projects from tender to the end of the warranty period. \nIn the summer of 2012\, he moved back to Alberta to work in precast concrete sound wall and retaining wall sales. In summer 2014\, he was hired by the City of Calgary as the Bridge Operations Technologist. The City of Calgary has over 500 bridges\, tunnels\, and structural stairways. These structures required inspection ever 12 to 24 months and was the primary duty in this role. \nTrevis became the Technical Resources Manager of Alberta and British Columbia with the Canadian Concrete Pipe and Precast Association in May 2021. \n(Optional – Trevis has been playing the bagpipes for 37 years and is currently a Leadership Corporal in the Calgary Police Service Pipe Band.)
