TRB conducted a webinar on Thursday, June 23, 2016 from 2:00PM to 4:00PM ET that introduces attendees to the structural design of buried bridges. These types of bridges are being used as an alternative to traditional bridge systems when replacing or installing new bridge systems because of their reduced costs, accelerated bridge construction (ABC), improved environmental characteristics and sustainability, and reduced maintenance. This webinar discussed sample designs and demonstrate the impacts of varying design inputs and assumptions.
This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Culverts and Hydraulic Structures. A certificate for 2.0 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who register and attend the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at
RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar.
Here are the slides from the presentation.
