SUMMARY:Culvert Repair and Replacements
DESCRIPTION:Location: Frisco 2 \nSpeaker: James Freed\, P.E. – Rinker Materials\n \nPresentation Description: \nFailing culvert? This presentation starts by looking at the two main forms of repair\, replace\, or rehabilitation: open cut and trenchless. Open cut being the most simple\, will be only touched on in the beginning. The majority of this presentation will be looking at: lining\, sliplining\, and tunneling.\nSpeaker Bio: \nJames is a Technical Resource Engineer from Texas who now works in Pennsylvania\, covering Western Penn\, Eastern Ohio\, and West Virginia. He graduated from Texas Tech University in 2015 with a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering. He resides in Pittsburgh with his wife\, baby girl\, and 4 dogs. He started his career in design consulting engineering and decided to branch over to the producer/manufacturing side when COVID struck. He might be the best presenter I’ve seen so I hope you are ready to have your socks blown off!

SUMMARY:Box Culvert Design
DESCRIPTION:Location: Frisco 2 \nSpeaker: Brian Jenner\, P.E. – Rinker Materials \nPresentation Description: \nPrecast Concrete Box Culverts are an important part of the United States Infrastructure.  Their main purpose is to convey water under roadways.  They are also used as pedestrian tunnels\, utility tunnels\, wildlife passages\, and many other uses. They are buried in the ground and act as a bridge for the traffic above them.  Precast Concrete Box Culverts are designed to withstand the loads applied to them making them both resilient and sustainable parts of the nation’s infrastructure.  This presentation will go over how Precast Concrete Box Culverts are designed.  We will discuss loads\, load factors\, and design criteria used as we design a box culvert using AASHTO LRFD Specifications and Eriksson Culvert. \nSpeaker Bio: \nBrian is a Project Engineer for Rinker Materials and lives in Rapid City\, South Dakota at the base of the Black Hills National Forest close to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial. \nOther than a short time as Technical Resource Engineer for Montana\, Wyoming\, and the Dakotas\, Brian has been a Project Engineer since 2005.  His responsibilities are primarily for items produced in Montana.  Brian is responsible for the structural design of prestressed bridge beams and box culverts as well as project management items like product costing\, shop plan production and order entry.  Brian is a Registered Professional Engineer in 20 states. \nBrian graduated from South Dakota Mines with a B.S. (1994) and M.S. (1996) in Civil Engineering and was part of the 1995 National Championship Concrete Canoe Team. \nBrian is a member of several ASTM Committees\, ACPA Infrastructure Committee and PCI Bridge Producers Committee. \nIn his spare time\, Brian enjoys spending time with his family\, fishing\, kayaking\, hiking and retro gaming.
