Purpose and Background
This webinar concentrates on micropile foundations. Micropile foundations are often a technically sound and cost-effective foundation choice where a deep foundation solution is appropriate based on site conditions, applied loads and project schedule and performance requirements. The LRFD platform offers a rational framework for consideration of micropile foundation systems. The webinar will use the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) LRFD Bridge and Structures Specifications as a basis for the technical content. Applicable articles in Section 10.5 and 10.9 of AASHTO LRFD Specifications will be used as a basis of discussion.

The webinar will include discussion on the terminology and construction of micropiles, identification of limit states and resistance factors, axial compression and uplift resistance of a single micropile, estimation of grout-ground bond resistance and tip resistance, group efficiency factors for evaluation of axial resistance of micropiles in groups, buckling and lateral stability, lateral resistance of micropiles in groups, evaluation of settlement of micropile groups, concept of cased, uncased and plunge lengths, consideration of extreme event limits state such as scour and seismic events, corrosion and deterioration, and typical structural detailing and design. The webinar will assume that the participant has a basic working knowledge of design and construction of deep foundations.

STRUCTURES CONGRESS 2015
DoubleTree Portland Hotel and
Oregon Convention Center
Portland, Oregon - U.S.A
April 23 - 25, 2015

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Submit your abstract and/or full session proposal today for Structures Congress 2015. We are currently accepting proposals for complete sessions and abstracts for individual papers to be presented at Structures Congress 2015.

The Congress provides a forum to advance the art, science, and practice of structural engineering.

All proposals are due June 11, 2014.

Central Ohio Outstanding Civil Engineer
Robert Lawler, P.E., has been named the Central Ohio Outstanding Civil Engineer for 2014.

Outstanding Section Member
Michael Romanello, P.E. has been named Outstanding Section Member for the Central Ohio Section of ASCE in 2014.

Under the sponsorship of the ASCE Central Ohio Section, the 2014 High School Civil Engineering Career Day took place on Thursday, April 24. Beth Meek (S&ME), Emily Wieringa (Columbus Zoo) and Carolyn Merry (OSU) organized the event. A welcome reception was held at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering at The Ohio State University.

The May 2014 newsletter is now available for download.

Kevin Carpenter was interviewed on a local radio program in Central Ohio, All Sides with Ann Fisher, about the state of Ohio's roads and bridges, and ASCE's infrastructure report card. Kevin is a member of ASCE, a former Region 3 governor, and past president of the Central Ohio ASCE section. Ann Fisher asked him about Ohio's bridges, and he described the reasons why ASCE rated them a C- and the challenges faced by the Ohio counties in funding bridge maintenance and replacement projects.

You can listen to the recorded program on WOSU's website.

Late last year, the Central Ohio Section bought a number of civil engineering reference books and donated them to the Columbus Library for public use. The titles are as follows:

• Minimum Design Loads (7-10)
• Design of Marine Facilities for Berthing, Mooring
• FRP Composite Connections
• Foundation Engineering Handbook
• Trenchless Technology Piping
• Civil Engineer's Handbook of Professional Practice
• Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures (5-11 & 6-11
• Urban Stormwater Controls

The Ohio Geological Society and the ODNR Division of Geological Survey present a core workshop:

Depositional systems and hydrocarbon potential of the Upper Devonian Ohio black shales as interpreted from core and geophysical logs from northern Ohio

Workshop participants will earn 10.0 Professional Development Hours

Instructors:
Brian Currie, Miami University
Mac Swinford, Ohio Geological Society
Joe Hannibal, Cleveland Museum of Natural History
John Wicks, JL Wicks Exploration
Mike Angle, ODNR Division of Geological Survey
Brian Mott, DLZ Ohio

Topic: OSIS Downtown Area Odor Control Facilities

(Online registration and payment available, see bottom of page.)

We will present this year's awards for Outstanding Civil Engineer of Central Ohio and Outstanding Section Member of ASCE Central Ohio, and hear about the OSIS Downtown Odor Control Facility.

The OSIS Downtown Area Odor Control Facilities project was devised in 2007 in response to complaints of odors through the downtown riverfront corridor. Engineering analyses determined that the source of the odors was the Olentangy / Scioto Interceptor Sewer (OSIS), which traverses the downtown corridor. Further analysis determined that bio-filters would be the most cost effective method of treatment. While odor mitigation was the main focus of the project, the odor control facilities will also provide ventilation for the OSIS Augmentation and Relief Sewer (OARS), which is a deep tunnel that will convey overflows from combined sewers to the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The presentation will cover the goals of the project, the field investigations performed to determine the odor source and sewer ventilation requirements, the design of the biofilter system, an overview of the construction process and an update on the performance of the facilities since construction was completed.

The Central Ohio Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is sponsoring a "Civil Engineering Career Day". The purpose of the program is to expose high school juniors to the profession in hopes that they may consider civil engineering as a career. In the past, the program has received national recognition from ASCE for the excellent exposure that the students and community receive as part of the program. This year the program will take place April 24, 2014.
