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.)

SUMMARY:Headlight Inspection Program
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Frisco 2 \nSpeaker:  Tyson Rupnow\, PhD – LADOTD \nPresentation Description\nTraditionally\, DOTD has relied on a primarily paper-based process for field data collection. Mobile technology (defined as hardware and software that can be used in concert to allow integrated data collection\, access to project-related information\, and realtime communication capabilities) continues to improve and become more affordable. This research project explored the feasibility of replacing the traditional\, paper-based inspection process with a cloud-based\, mobile project inspection technology named HeadLight\, piloting this technology on over 50 projects across four districts in Louisiana. A materials module was also developed. Inspectors using HeadLight experienced a 28 percent increase in productivity when creating and submitting daily work reports (DWRs). The increase in productivity for Department-wide adoption is estimated to exceed 117\,000 hours per year. Inspectors collected and shared 1.9 times more observations while increasing the number of photo and other media observations which contributes to a more complete record of the project and provides immeasurable value to DOTD. Project inspectors using HeadLight provide more complete and consistent data tagged with time and location metadata. DWRs are automatically generated from daily observations eliminating omission and transcription errors with submission rate improvements up to 66 percent completed within 24 hours and up to 82 percent completed within 72 hours. By increasing the timeliness of submitted DWRs\, data is more readily available across DOTD. Data stored in HeadLight provides a wealth of material for future training of new employees and even training of existing employees for particularly unique construction scenarios. It was observed that none of the projects using HeadLight had a lost claim that occurred during this pilot study. While more research is warranted\, this suggests that HeadLight provided both DOTD and contractors an improved communication platform to resolve issues before they escalated to a dispute and/or claim. It is anticipated that the benefits listed will be more considerable when the technology is further leveraged using big data analytics. \nSpeaker Bio \nDr. Rupnow is the Associate Director for Research at the Louisiana Transportation Research Center (LTRC). Dr. Rupnow holds a M.S. in geotechnical engineering and a Ph.D. in civil engineering materials from Iowa State University. Prior to joining LTRC\, he worked as a post doctoral research associate for the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center in Ames\, Iowa. Prior to promoting to the Associate Director\, Research where he administers the research program for the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) and serves as one of the State RAC members\, he served as the Senior Concrete Research Engineer for 6 years. Work included evaluation of high portland cement replacement ternary mixtures\, implementing the surface resistivity test method\, and full scale load testing and evaluation of RCC and bonded concrete overlays on asphalt. Dr. Rupnow currently serves as an adjunct instructor for Louisiana State University where he occasionally teaches Civil Engineering Materials Laboratory\, Soils for Construction\, and a graduate course in Concrete Materials. Dr. Rupnow also holds a Research Associate Professor position with the University of Louisiana Lafayette. Dr. Rupnow is a member of TRB Committees AFN30 Durability of Concrete and AFN10 Basic Research and Emerging Technologies for Concrete and is a Member of ACI – Louisiana.
