SUMMARY:Resilience in Design: Flooding & Wildfires
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom C \nSpeaker:  Dr. Ricardo Medina\, P.E. – Simpson Gumpertz & Heger \nPresentation Description: \nExperience has shown that culvert crossings may be vulnerable to damage induced by natural hazards such as floods and wildfires. Culvert crossings can be viewed as nodes in roadway networks whose decreased performance due to structural damage can significantly disrupt the function of the transportation system. Dr. Medina will discuss infrastructure resilience concepts\, the importance of planning for recovery\, and a practical engineering design framework for enhanced structural robustness of culvert systems exposed to floods and wildfires. The successful implementation of this framework is expected to increase the ability of a roadway at culvert crossings to maintain function in the presence of floods and wildfires. \nSpeaker Bio: \nDr. Ricardo A. Medina is an expert in the field of structural mechanics who specializes in structural fire engineering\, multi-hazard assessment\, earthquake engineering\, and structural evaluation of aging infrastructure to assist clients with issues related to infrastructure risk and resilience.

SUMMARY:Buoyancy
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom C \nSpeaker:  Hank Gottschalk – CP&P \nPresentation Description: \nEvery object that is submerged in a liquid will experience buoyant forces. Buried tanks\, vaults\, manholes\, drainage inlets\, pipes and culverts are no exception. A review of the potential buoyant forces and their impacts should be part of each and every design. This session will discuss buoyancy in simple terms that everyone should understand\, how they apply to buried infrastructure\, and will review specific examples on how to assess and design for buoyancy. \nSpeaker Bio: \nHank Gottschalk has over thirty years experience in construction industry\, the majority of those years focused on buried underground utility and infrastructure. He currently serves as Senior Manager-Technical Marketing for Concrete Pipe & Precast\, LLC (CP&P) focusing on new products\, new markets\, and providing technical resources for proper design and installation of buried precast concrete products. Hank has provided educational training throughout the Mid-Atlantic area to hundreds of specifiers\, contractors\, engineers\, and inspectors on buried drainage and pipeline installation\, inspection and acceptance. He has served on numerous committees within the National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA\,) the American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA\,) the Central Atlantic Precast Concrete Association (CAPCA\,) The Precast Concrete Association of Virginia (PCAV\,) and the Carolina’s Concrete Pipe & Products Association (CCPPA) assisting with specifications\, promotion\, and training. Hank earned his Civil Engineering degree from Old Dominion University.

SUMMARY:Asset Management
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom C \nSpeakers:  Michelle O’Neill\, P.E. – MDOT \nMike Halloran\, P.E. – MDOT \nPresentation Description: \nMDOT is in the early stages of developing an Ancillary Structures Asset Management program for 16 different structure types\, including culverts under 10′ in span. This presentation will provide an overview of the program\, current tasks and initiatives\, next steps and future initiatives. We will also discuss the culvert inventory in Michigan\, what inventory and inspection data is collected\, inspection procedures and training\, and a brief overview of some common issues we are discovering and overall network health relative to culverts. \nSpeaker Bios:\n \n\n\n\nMichelle O’Neill is the Program Manager of the Ancillary Structures Program at MDOT and is responsible for developing a rating system\, inspection guidelines\, an asset management strategy\, shop drawing approvals and updated design guides for the 16 ancillary structure types in the state. She has been at MDOT for 22 years and previously was the Operations Engineer in the Southwest Region. She is a graduate of Michigan Technological University and lives in Portage\, Michigan. \n\n\nMike Halloran is the Structure Preservation Section Manager in the Bureau of Bridges and Structures at MDOT\, which includes the Ancillary Structures unit\, Emergency Structure Response\, Statewide Bridge Maintenance Support\, Reachall unit\, Statewide Bridge Repair crew\, Statewide Overhead Sign\, and the Bridge Priority Preservation Design Squad. Mike has been with MDOT for 18 years and was previously the Region Bridge Engineer in the Southwest Region. He is also a graduate of Michigan Technological University and lives in Hopkins\, Michigan.
