Hampton Roads Engineering Societies Calendar January 2015 3D Underwater Imaging for Coastal Infrastructure Rapid Assessment and Construction Monitoring Date: January 21, 2015 1130 - 1300 hrs Location: Holiday Inn, 5655 Greenwich Rd, Virginia Beach Costs: SAME Members—$25.00; Gov’t/Active Military—$10.00 Registration: http://www.jotformpro.com/form/50094664557967 Presenter: M r. Chris Gorman, P E, Coda Octopus P roducts, I nc. Learning Objectives: 1. Describe current challenges with marine infrastructure assessment and underwater construction. 2. Understand how real-time imaging can fundamentally change how project is planned and managed. 3. Gain insight on how this directly benefits projects for both cost and productivity. 4. Understand the applications and project types to best apply this technology. Scope: The purpose of this event is to bring together architects, engineers, constructors, and environmental professionals from the public and private sectors for a presentation on a new technology that is enabling new construction methods and improving infrastructure management. The presentation will provide an overview of the benefits and project applications of Real-Time 3D High-Definition underwater imaging.

Be sure to visit the chapter website at: asmeasternvirginia.tripod.com Virginia Commonwealth University Engineering East Hall, Room E2221 401 West Main Street Richmond, Virginia 23284 6:30 – 7:00 PM: Social time and dinner 7:00 – 8:00 PM: Technical Presentation Dinner: Pizza and soft drinks will be provided at a charge of $5 per person. Reservations: Please notify Jeff Wiese at 804-421-7897 or [email protected] by Friday, January 23 on your planned attendance. Everyone is welcome. Chairman’s Message: This month’s presentation is the second of three technical talks jointly sponsored by our chapter and the Central Virginia Section of ASME. The last in the series will be "Equilibrium Phase Diagrams" to be held in the Williamsburg area in April. These technical presentations are educational in nature and will be worth one (1) Professional Development Hour (PDH) each toward a Virginia Professional Engineer license. Virginia requires 16 PDHs during each two year license renewal period, and three of those could be covered by these technical talks at no cost to the attendee. We have two activities planned for February. Every year we support the Engineers Week banquets by the Richmond Joint Engineers Council (rjec.org) and the Peninsula Engineers Council (va-pec.org). Please see their web sites or contact any of our officers for more information. Finally, in March we will be holding our second annual CO2 Dragster Contest at the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond as part of the Celebrate Engineering Ingenuity Day. The objective of this contest is to teach the participants about materials selection and utilization through the practical task of creating small, CO2 jet powered dragsters. The designers must make the vehicles as light as possible in order to score the lowest run times and must consider their material selections carefully to achieve that goal. See the chapter web site for more information. Please note that everyone is welcome to these events, and we hope to see you there. About the Presentation: “Aluminum Bridge Decks for Highway Use," is about the concept, its evolution, and other structural aluminum applications including: • Unpainted aluminum girders in service since 1961. • A portable aluminum bridge to span insufficient bridges facilitating heavy transformer deliveries. • The aluminum deck technology used on 70 European bridges. • Issues such as corrosion, bimetallic connections, fatigue, use of friction connections, friction stir welding (FSWelding). • Where/why the technology makes sense. It is about the use of a nontraditional material in infrastructure with the potential for 100+ year longevity. Contact any of our officers if you would like to advertise in our newsletter. About the Speaker: Upcoming Events: Kurt Thompson received his BSME from the University of Virginia. He worked for Reynolds Metals Company (RMC) in their corporate engineering services and then in R&D for 21 years. While in R&D, Kurt stimulated interest, acquired funding, then led the $2.3 million per year program for 2.5 years developing the aluminum bridge deck technology. That program built a multidisciplinary, multi-corporate team including RMC, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Modjeski and Masters, and others that developed the wearing surface, deck structure, and arc welding procedures. Two arc welded bridge decks were installed and remain in service to this day (17+ years). In 2012, Kurt participated in another installation. The 14' X 64' X 28 ton prefabricated superstructure was shipped across four states, then lifted into place in 30 minutes proving unsurpassed accelerated bridge construction capabilities. Design enhancements include the use of FSWelding and friction connections. These innovations led to changes in the AASHTO and AWS D1.2 Codes.
