SUMMARY:Box Culvert Design
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom B \nSpeaker:  Josh Beakley\, P.E. – American Concrete Pipe Association \nPresentation Description \nPrecast Box Culverts are a fast-growing segment of the precast culvert industry. These products have proven to be durable\, and lend themselves well to accelerated bridge construction and the FHWA’s emphasis on “Every Day Counts” (EDC). However\, unlike precast concrete pipe\, box culverts do not come in strength classes\, and often must be specifically designed for sizes or loads that extend beyond those considered in the ASTM Standards. This presentation discusses the various loads that need to be addressed when designing a precast box culvert. \nSpeaker Bio \nJosh Beakley is Vice President of Engineering for the American Concrete Pipe Association. He is a registered professional engineer in the state of Virginia. Josh received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Rutgers University\, New Brunswick\, NJ and received his Masters in Geotechnical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington. \nJosh has been with the American Concrete Pipe Association since 1994. Prior to joining ACPA\, he worked as a Civil Engineer for the Bechtel Power Corporation. \nIn his job functions for the American Concrete Pipe Association Josh represents the industry on national standards making committees. He also coordinates research and design programs for the precast concrete culvert industry. Occasionally\, he assists engineers with the design and specification of precast concrete pipe and box culverts as well as performing educational seminars. \nJosh is a member of ASCE\, ACI\, ASTM\, and participates in AASHTO functions. He is a Spangler Award Winner\, and an Award of Merit Honoree of ASTM\, as well as a Heger Award Honoree of ACPA. He was also an ASCE Outstanding Reviewer in 2020 for the ASCE Journal of Pipeline Systems Engineering and Practice.

SUMMARY:Precast Concrete Trenchless Installation
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom B \nSpeaker:  Mafe Pinzon\, P.E. – Langley Concrete \nPresentation Description \nAs cities grow\, avoiding surface interruptions to install underground infrastructure has become a common practice. For this reason\, trenchless installations it one of the fastest-growing construction sectors\, and precast concrete has become the product of choice in many new installations due mainly to its inherited strength and its ability to withstand all the loads in all the different directions that the pipe will experience during construction as well as throughout its service life. \nTo accommodate future growth in cities and highly populated urban areas\, contractors are more inclined to use trenchless installations over the traditional open-cut method due to their versatility and to minimize the impact of construction on the public. Precast Concrete has become the product of choice in many new installations due mainly to its inherited strength and its ability to withstand all the loads in all the different directions that the pipe will experience during construction as well as throughout its service life. Trenchless installations help developers and contractors accommodate future growth in cities and highly populated urban areas at an affordable price with minimum surface disruptions. \nThis presentation will give you basic knowledge regarding trenchless installation\, its benefits\, and the different precast concrete options. Then\, the presentation will go more into depth about the type of precast concrete options available for trenchless installation\, design considerations\, and best practices. Lastly\, we will review some case studies of successful trenchless installations in Canada. \nSpeaker Bio \nMafe Pinzon is the Technical Marketing Manager at The Langley Concrete Group. Mafe has a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and is a professional engineer registered in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. She has 17 years of work experience\, 8 in the underground infrastructure industry as technical resources engineer.

SUMMARY:The Future of Cement for Water Resource Application
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom B \nSpeaker:  Josh Gilman\, P.E. – Portland Cement Association (PCA) \nPresentation Description\nConcrete pipe and other products contribute to the economic viability and resilience of water resources projects. Products are often selected for the long service life they provide\, which can be readily demonstrated with a life cycle analysis (LCA). The initial carbon footprint of any material or construction method is an important aspect of an LCA\, but it is not the only one and may not even have the greatest contribution: maintenance considerations and overall service life may ultimately outweigh the initial footprint. Long lasting\, sustainable structures require durable and resilient materials\, and for most applications concrete is the material of choice. \nOrdinary portland cement (OPC) manufactured to meet the ASTM C150 standard has been the default binder material in concrete specifications for water resources projects for decades. The properties and performance of both fresh and hardened OPC concrete are well documented\, as is the superior durability and longevity of concrete structures that are properly designed and constructed. The environmental impact of manufacturing OPC is also well documented\, and regulators impose strict requirements on all cement producers to monitor and report emissions. According to the U.S. Environmental Protections Agency (EPA)\, the CO2 footprint of cement production in the U.S. accounts for 1.25% of the total U.S. CO2 emissions. Although the industry has made considerable progress since the 1970’s to reduce its energy demand by 40%\, the Portland Cement Association (PCA) and its members recognized that more must be done to tackle the carbon footprint of the cement and concrete industry\, and developed a Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality to lay out specific tasks and targets to achieve its goals. \nPortland-Limestone Cement (PLC)\, was developed with the capability to replace Type I/II OPC in concrete mixtures at a 1:1 ratio. PLC is engineered to maintain the same performance as OPC but as a “greener” cement\, offers up to a 10% lower carbon footprint than OPC. PLC is manufactured to meet the ASTM C595 blended cement specification\, and extensive comparison testing has demonstrated its equivalent properties and performance\, including alkali-silica reaction (ASR) resistance\, corrosion prevention\, freeze-thaw resistance and sulfate resistance when compared to OPC. PLC performs like OPC when combined with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and admixtures in concrete mixtures at equivalent proportions. Replacing OPC with PLC in concrete for water resource projects delivers the same long-term durability and resilience with the added benefit of significantly reducing the carbon footprint. \nLearning Objectives:\n• Describe the importance of evaluating the whole lifespan of a project to understand the carbon footprint and compare alternatives.\n• Explain the environmental impact of producing portland cement and the efforts of the industry to reduce its carbon footprint.\n• Recognize PLC and how it can be substituted for OPC to improve the environmental impacts of concrete while maintaining the same properties and performance. \nSpeaker Bio \nJoshua Gilman\, P.E.\, is the manager of water resources and geotechnical markets for PCA. He is responsible for market development and expanding the use of concrete and other cement-based materials for water resources and geotechnical applications including roller-compacted concrete\, soil-cement and waste stabilization. \nGilman has more than 10 years of experience in the geotechnical and water resources markets. Prior to joining PCA\, Gilman held geotechnical engineering positions with consulting firms in the Northeastern and Southeastern United States\, and most-recently managed a satellite office for a large firm performing geotechnical and construction materials testing services. Water resources\, especially dam engineering and dam safety\, have been a focus throughout Gilman’s career including employment with a multi-discipline consulting firm that served the hydropower industry. \nGilman holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Norwich University\, and is a licensed professional engineer in the state of North Carolina.
