"Truck platoons and understanding the impact of heavy loads on prestressed concrete girders "

NCBC is pleased to continue its webinar program on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, from 1:00 to 2:00 pm ET.

This webinar reflects on the history of the stress limitation approach and how that may impose unnecessary limitations on platooning operations. Reliability indices associated with different load levels will be discussed. The research performed on platooning will help guide structural design in the future. Following this webinar, the participant will be able to:

• Categorize the fundamental variabilities associated with loads and resistances
• Relate variabilities to load factor calibration
• Describe a possible platoon permit rating for strength and service
• Review cracking likelihood for the 75-year service life
• Consider how alternate methods or criteria might be used in load rating

"The Critical Role of Construction Engineers in Building Bridges "

NCBC is pleased to continue its webinar program on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, from 1:00 to 2:00 pm ET.

Many of today’s bridge projects require unconventional construction schemes to hurdle site constraints and meet project requirements. Often, these projects require an analysis of the structure during the construction phase since the construction loads may control the design or the means and methods affect the locked-in forces and geometry. This webinar will investigate the role of a Construction Engineer, and how their involvement can bridge the gap between the Designer and Contractor on complex projects.
