The Bentley Civil Infrastructure Webcast Series: Replacing the Katrina-Damaged I-10 Twin-Span Bridges Aired on Tuesday, May 8, 2012
Integrated design efforts were required across multiple project teams and locations during a six-year bridge replacement project to repair and replace old structures severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina along an 11-mile I-10 corridor connecting New Orleans, New Orleans’s Ports, and the petro-chemical industry along the Mississippi River. This included an approximately 5.5-mile-long twin-structures bridge. This project was completed ahead of schedule and $53 million under budget, while meeting the goals to provide better storm protection, safe accommodation of six traffic lanes, enhanced barge collision resistance, and utilization of materials and techniques to provide for a low-maintenance and long-service life.

Vertical Evacuation and Structural Technologies Aired on Wednesday, March 21, 2012
To mitigate risk to natural disasters such as tsunamis, coastal areas have usually planned evacuation to areas of naturally occurring high ground outside the tsunami inundation zone. A vertical evacuation refuge is a building or earthen mound or hill that has sufficient height to elevate evacuees above the level of tsunami inundation, and, if it’s a structure, is designed and constructed with the strength and resiliency needed to resist the effects of tsunami waves. Learn how to design and strengthen a vertical evacuation structure from experts such as Steven M. Baldridge, President of BASE and author of FEMA's guide to designing vertical evacuation structures. Structural Engineer Editor-in-Chief Dan Cuoco will also discuss vertical evacuation strategies for tall buildings involving manmade disasters, such as the 9/11 attacks. ⇒ Click here to view the archived presentation!

Bentley Civil Presents...Part 2: Leveraging LiDAR Data in Transportation Design Aired on December 7, 2011
In today’s economy and with accelerated project schedules, we are all looking for ways to reduce costs and increase production. One of the technologies helping to provide the improvements we need is laser scanning. Point cloud or LiDAR technology continues to improve in acquisition, interpretation and in usability to meet engineering needs. This webcast is a follow-up to the previous webcast “From Point Clouds to CAD Deliverables“ showing practical application of point clouds for engineering using Bentley Civil applications.

Bentley Civil Presents...Part 1: From Point Cloud to CAD Deliverables Aired on November 30, 2011
This webcast will demonstrate techniques for assessing the quality of imported point cloud data and the subsequent extraction of CAD deliverables. Quality assessment procedures will focus on establishing and confirming lineage back to survey network control. Specific quality metrics will be explained and measurement methods demonstrated. Following quality assessment, the majority of the presentation will focus on processing techniques for identifying and extracting high quality deliverables from point cloud data. The focus of the demonstration will be in the area of Civil-Transportation. Specific tools for the identification and extraction of breaklines, road surfaces, features and assets into CAD models will be demonstrated. The final extracted CAD deliverable will be a complete high quality digital terrain model (DTM) developed for downstream engineering and design processes.

New Technology in Seismic Loading Aired on October 10, 2011
Viscous dampers, SMRF's, earthquake and seismic mitigation strategies, and moment resisting frames will be covered in this seismic design strategies presentation. Dr. Kit Miyamoto, CEO of Miyamoto International, specializes in high performance earthquake engineering and disaster mitigation, response and construction. Dr. Miyamoto, a native of Tokyo, was on a train there when the 9.0 earthquake hit off the Japanese coast creating the massive tsunami that destroyed much of the Japanese coast. He was there presenting at the Tokyo Earthquake Engineering Conference hosted by the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Since then he’s gone back several times to volunteer his services in the reconstruction. Dr. Miyamoto has also volunteered in the ongoing reconstruction of seismically resistant buildings in Haiti and Chile after the earthquakes there. In this webcast he will share seismic resistance technologies such as special moment resistance frames (SMRFs), fluid viscous dampers and fluid visco-elastic dampers.
