Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall Design Updates
Wednesday, December 11, 12-1:30 PM Eastern

Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls are widely used in transportation projects due to their cost-saving, time-efficient, and resilient nature. Recently, the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and Federal Highway Administration have outlined new design changes to improve the service life of the walls in the FHWA Geotechnical Engineering Circular 011. This webinar will provide background and an overview of four design approaches for MSE walls: the coherent gravity method, the simplified method, the stiffness method, and the limit equilibrium method.

Resolving Ambiguities Between 3D Virtual Models and the Real World
Wednesday, December 18, 11 AM-12:30 PM Eastern

The transportation sector is advancing towards full digital product delivery and digital as-built objectives within civil infrastructure. This transformation is driven by the goal of a fully end-to-end digital, asset-centric, interoperable data flow. However, current methodologies still rely on outdated concepts, such as 2D/1D plans and profile/cross-section sheets, which are disconnected from modern construction goals that demand the integration of open building information modeling (BIM) and digital twin technologies. This webinar will raise awareness within the department of transportation (DOT) community about the critical need to resolve ambiguities between virtual 3D models and real-world conditions.
