Design And Construction Process Management, David Brown

David C. Brown

New approaches for improving design and construction processes have been used recently. Innovative methods for managing the requirements and quality of these processes will be discussed. A systematic data centric approach will be discussed as well as the processes of separating progress from performance. It discusses the integration of these processes in the planning, risk analysis, design, submission, construction, inspection, quality control and documentation phases.

Forward Time Domain Ground Penentrating Radar Modeling Of Bridge Decks For Detecting Deterioration, Kimberly Belli, Sara Wadia-Fascetti, Carey Rappaport

Sara J. Wadia-Fascetti

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) for nondestructive testing is a relatively young technology, especially with application to civil infrastructure such as bridges and roadways. Conventional methods of processing and analyzing GPR data for civil infrastructure are often qualitative, using relative reflection amplitude from subsurface boundaries or reinforcing steel (rebars) as an indicator of health. This poster brings well understood electrical engineering analysis tools to the application of nondestructive testing of bridges using GPR. Using iterative forward modeling to improve upon conventional permittivity and depth calculations, a computational model geometry is computed for the assumed bridge deck with no anomalies present. A …
