SUMMARY:TRB Webinar: Evaluating Load Testing for Bridges
DESCRIPTION:The overall structural behavior of a bridge can be determined through load testing. TRB is hosting a webinar on Tuesday\, February 11\, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM Eastern that will delve into this topic. The webinar will focus on diagnostic load testing and proof load testing\, and will identify how these tests can help refine the load rating of a bridge.\nThe presenters will define the different load tests\, provide guidance about when and if to conduct a load test\, and discuss how to prepare for it. They will also interpret the test results and determine how to quantify safety in terms of the reliability index after a load test is included. \nThis webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Testing and Evaluation of Transportation Structures. \nSome registrants will need to pay $95 to attend this webinar. Sign into http://MyTRB.org to view registration information. \nWebinar Presenters \n  * Eva Lantsoght\, Universidad San Francisco de Quito\n  * Jesse Grimson\, BDI\n  * David Yang\, Lehigh University\n  * Ed Zhou\, AECOM \nModerated by: Sreenivas Alampalli\, New York State Department of Transportation \nWebinar Outline \n  1. General considerations and preparation for load testing\n  2. Diagnostic load tests\n  3. Proof load tests\n  4. Estimating the reliability index and remaining service life after load testing\n  5. Question and answer session \nThe first 90 minutes of the webinar will be for presentations and the final 30 minutes will be reserved for audience questions. \nLearning Objectives \nAt the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n  * Identify if a load test can meet desired objectives\n  * Select the appropriate type of load test\n  * Use the outcome to evaluate bridge structural behavior\n  * Determine the structural safety of a bridge\, quantified by the probability of failure \nProfessional Development Hour Information \nA certificate for 2.0 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) will be provided to Professional Engineers (PEs) who register and attend the webinar as an individual.

SUMMARY:Municipal Engineering Construction Inspection Part Two
DESCRIPTION:This three-day course held on consecutive Wednesdays in February is designed for municipal engineering inspectors who want to improve their overall background in proper inspection of public and private construction movements in the State of New Jersey. Personnel in related fields may find this course informative and enlightening as well. The course was developed by the New Jersey Society of Municipal Engineers with cooperation of the New Jersey Local Technical Assistance Program (NJ LTAP) at Rutgers CAIT and the American Public Works Association (APWA).\nPart 2 presents an overview of work zone traffic safety\, regulatory agencies\, OSHA regulations\, New Jersey laws and ethics\, local governments\, public relations\, the developer’s escrow law\, residential site improvement standards\, construction administration\, and information sources that are relevant to municipal engineering construction inspection. \nClass dates will be 2/12\, 2/19\, and 2/26

SUMMARY:Proven Safety Countermeasures Workshop - North Jersey (NJTPA/Newark)
DESCRIPTION:New Jersey is currently a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) focus approach state for both Pedestrians and Intersections\, with approximately 24% of fatal and serious injury crashes involving Intersections and 27% involving Pedestrians and Bicycles. In New Jersey\, approximately 60% of fatal and serious injury crashes are occurring on the local system.\nThe New Jersey Local Technical Assistance Program (NJLTAP) has partnered with the FHWA Division Office\, NJDOT Bureau of Safety\, Bicycle and Pedestrian Programs and Local Aid and Economic Development\, and our three Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to develop a half-day workshop focused on the FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures and the funding available for improvements to the local system. \nThis workshop provides guidance on the FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures that local public agencies can implement to successfully address roadway departure\, intersection\, and pedestrian and bicycle crashes. The course will provide emphasis on intersection and pedestrian safety countermeasures\, as well as potential funding sources (both federal and state) for implementing such countermeasures. Further\, emphasis will be provided to include ways to implement the countermeasures into existing projects as proactive low-cost solutions to safety improvements. \nRegistration is required for this event. AICP and PE credits available. \nFor more information on this Proven Safety Countermeasures Workshop and how to register. https://cait.rutgers.edu/event/proven-safety-countermeasures-workshop-2/

SUMMARY:Tech Talk! Micromobility’s Launch in NJ and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:This Tech Talk Event will explore the current state of micromobility as a shared transport option in the U.S. and highlight recent research on cities that have begun to develop and/or refine policies for their bike-share and e-scooter programs. In NJ\, Hoboken and Asbury Park have been on the leading edge by piloting micromobility programs. Speakers will discuss each city’s experiences with bike-share and the introduction of e-scooters\, as well as the demographics of usage\, user satisfaction\, and community receptivity. The panel will explore the nuts and bolts and the challenges of ramping up shared mobility options including: needed infrastructure improvements; marketing and education to attract users and promote safety; law enforcement; and staffing\, funding and revenue sharing arrangements with selected providers.\nFOR MORE INFORMATION https://www.njdottechtransfer.net/2020/01/09/nj-micromobility/\nREGISTER AT: https://techtalk-micromobility.eventbrite.com

SUMMARY:FHWA/NHI - Fracture Critical Inspection Techniques for Steel Bridges
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION:\nThe course curriculum for this training reflects current practices\, while addressing new and emerging technologies available to bridge inspectors. In addition\, the course features exemplary training; hands-on workshops for popular types of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) equipment; and a case study of an inspection plan for a fracture critical bridge. \nThe first day of the training focuses on the concept of fracture critical members (FCMs)\, FCM identification\, failure mechanics\, fatigue in metal\, and an overview of NDE methods. Day two includes demonstration sessions and hands-on applications of NDE techniques for dye penetrant\, magnetic particle testing\, Eddy current testing\, and ultrasonic testing. Days three and four emphasize inspection procedures and reporting for common FCMs\, including problematic details\, I-girders\, floor beams\, trusses\, box girders\, pin and hanger assemblies\, arch ties\, eyebars\, and cross girders/pier caps. The course will conclude with a case study detailing the preparation of an inspection plan of a fracture critical bridge. Additionally\, the course instructors will tailor discussions of topics based on State needs and requirements. \n“This training will help inspectors evaluate bridges more thoroughly and will provide them with additional knowledge in how structures work and what can take place when they don’t work\,” states Bill Drosehn\, district bridge inspection engineer for the Massachusetts DOT. \nNote: Hosts are required to provide safety goggles for all course participants as well as a well-ventilated space for conducting the dye penetrant demonstration. \nOUTCOMES: \nUpon completion of the course\, participants will be able to: \n  * Identify fracture critical members (FCMs)\n  * Identify problematic details\n  * Identify areas most susceptible to fatigue and fracture\n  * Record defects\n  * Evaluate defects\n  * Evaluate nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods\n  * Evaluate retrofit details \nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThose who will benefit most from this training are public and private sector bridge inspectors\, supervisors\, project engineers\, and others responsible for field inspection of fracture critical steel bridge members. Prior to taking this course\, participants should have completed NHI course 130055\, Safety Inspection of In-Service Bridges\, or possess equivalent field experience relative to bridges. Participants also should have a thorough understanding of bridge mechanics and bridge safety inspection procedures as required by the National Bridge Inspection Standards.
