Letter from the President
Central Ohio Section Members,
I wanted to update the section on the accomplishments of this year’s central Ohio board. We have made some significant improvements to our section member benefits. I hope you have enjoyed them or plan to enjoy them in the future. Here are some of the items we’ve accomplished this year:
Modern Roundabouts - The Geometric Aspects
*Free to Central Ohio ASCE Section members
*Seating is limited to the first 25 people to RSVP (Please let us know if you need to cancel your RSVP)
*Bring your own lunch
About 65% of all crashes in urban areas and 40% of all crashes in rural areas occur at or near intersections or driveways. Safety improvements at these locations have always been a priority and pose a challenge for most transportation agencies. Because crashes are typically complex events, a variety of mitigation measures have been tried with varying degrees of success, including the modern roundabout. This webinar will focus on the best practices for designing the geometric aspects of roundabouts to maximize the safety of all road users using guidance from the latest publications from FHWA and TRB. Case studies will be used to highlight problems that can result from roundabouts that are not designed in accordance with best practices.This webinar is co-sponsored by ASCE's Transportation and Development Institute and ASCE Continuing Education.
May Awards Luncheon
Topic: Engineers Without Borders - Las Pilitas project in El Salvador
(Online registration and payment available, see bottom of page.)
This presentation will be on the Central Ohio chapter of Engineers Without Borders USA and the Las Pilitas project in El Salvador. The project consists of a street and drainage system for an isolated residential area at the edge of the small town of San Pedro Puxtla. The street, which is now nearly complete, connects the Las Pilitas neighborhood to the rest of the town, eliminates unhealthful exposure to contaminated drainage, and allows safer access to the residences in the rainy season. Engineering challenges on the project included routing of floodwater, disposal of large boulders, limited space and difficult access. Completion was further complicated by local perceptions, language, politics, and funding. The project has received partial funding from both the Central Ohio Section and ASCE national.
The meeting will also include award of this year’s Civil Engineer and ASCE Section Engineer.
