TTG - Route 495, Route 1&9/Paterson Plank Road Bridge

Route 495, Route 1&9/Paterson Plank Road Bridge

The Route 495, Route 1&9/Paterson Plank Road Bridge Rehabilitation Project provided for the complete rehabilitation of the mainline structure and two ramp structures and associated approach roadway improvements. Route 495 passes through one of the most densely populated regions in the United States, is the only vehicular access corridor to midtown Manhattan and has an average daily traffic (ADT) of over 150,000 vehicles. It also serves over 1,800 buses daily which travel in the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) Exclusive Bus Lane (XBL) during the weekday morning peak periods from 6 to 10 AM. The XBL moves approximately 65,000 commuters into Manhattan each day of operation and is recognized as one of the most effective transit systems in the Nation. The mainline structure consists of nine spans that carry eight lanes of Route 495 traffic over US-1&9, Liberty Avenue, Paterson Plank Road, Conrail & NYS&W rail lines, and the New Jersey Transit North Bergen Park and Ride Lot.

The presentation will provide information on many of the complexities of completely rehabilitating a complex structure within one of the most densely populated areas of the country and within one of the most congested corridors in the state.



This program is pending approval for 1 PDH for NY and NJ PEs.

UESI

UESI - Subsurface Utility Engineering - VIRTUAL

Unknown existing underground utilities can have a significant negative impact and create risk on improvement projects during construction. Schedule delays and cost overruns can occur, resulting in time lost waiting for utility companies to relocate their facilities, design changes during construction, and contractor claims and change orders. ASCE 38 was published in 2002 to attempt to resolve these issues, and was updated in 2022 as the Standard Guideline for Investigating and Documenting Existing Utilities. Find out what has changed and how this document can be used effectively on engineering design projects to mitigate those risks. Also, ASCE 75-22 Standard Guideline for Recording and Exchanging Utility Infrastructure Data has been published and is now available. The purpose of ASCE 75-22 is to specify essential attributes for recording and exchanging utility data including type, location, size, orientation, function, ownership, etc. with a focus on newly installed utilities.

"Resilient Infrastructure"

ASCE North Jersey Branch’s Water Resources and Environmental Technical Group (WETG) Presents:

“Resilient Infrastructure” - a live Webinar on December 7th from 12:00 - 1:00 pm

Presented by Trygve Hoff, PE - American Concrete Pipe Association

Resiliency is the new Green. Buzzwords are often overused and underutilized, and Resilient Infrastructure frequently falls in that category. Yet in today’s constantly changing climate, engineers must consider the resiliency of their projects to withstand floods, fires, and earthquakes. Precast concrete products are the definition of resilient: absorbing an impact and continuing to provide service with little or no repair necessary.

Costs:

  • $20 for ASCE Members and Government Employees

  • $25 for Nonmembers

  • Free for Students (must use .edu email address when registering)

Register online at Eventbrite and pay with credit card. Check payment is an option (please see details in Eventbrite)

This event is approved for one (1) PDH for NJ PE’s and is pending approval for one (1) PDH for NY PE’s

Water Environment Technical Group Dinner (postponed)

March 13, 2020 - At this time, ASCE NJB has postponed this event

ASCE North Jersey Branch has been monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and is carefully considering the impact on our upcoming events and meetings. As the situation develops, we will inform everyone of the new dates when they are available.

The Water & Environmental Technical Group (WETG) Presents:

Stormwater Management
Best Management Practices Inventory and Maintenance

Speakers:
Aarti Gupta – NJDOT
Lori Wade – Michael Baker International

NJDOT’s vast roadway network contains numerous basins, other best management practices (BMPs), and outfalls. An extensive GPS mapping program was performed to locate the stormwater management BMPs. The system was mapped and logged into a Geographical Information System (GIS). The mapping and inspections were used to determine appropriate maintenance actions to ensure the BMPs are functioning as designed and the NJDOT remains in compliance with its various environmental permits.

Date:
(currently postponed)

Time:
Registration and Reception from 5:30 - 6:30 pm
Dinner at 6:30 pm with presentation to follow

Location:
DoubleTree by Hilton, 690 Route 46 East, Fairfield, NJ

Full Day Geotechnical Workshop: "Cone Penetration Testing" (postponed)

March 13, 2020 - At this time, ASCE NJB has postponed this event.

ASCE North Jersey Branch has been monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and is carefully considering the impact on our upcoming events and meetings. As the situation develops, we will inform everyone of the new dates when they are available.

Geocharacterization by Cone Penetration Testing


Presented by: Dr. Paul W. Mayne, PhD, PE, Professor, Geosystems Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology

When: (currently postponed)

9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Registration 8:30 am

Where: Pines Manor, Edison, NJ

Cost:

  • Early Registration (by 3/1): $235

  • Registration (after 3/1): $285

  • Government employees: $175

  • Full-time Students with ID: $150


Complex soil stratigraphy and deposits of soft, sensitive, or liquefiable soils often have significant impacts on geotechnical design. Where site geology is suitable to cone penetration testing, CPTs offer a rapid and economical method of characterizing soil stratigraphy, soil stress history, and developing geotechnical parameters for the design of foundations, embankments, and ground improvements. With the addition of specific tooling, CPTs can also be used to perform in-situ tests to assess settlement, pore water dissipation, dynamic soil properties, soil resistivity, and even to identify unexploded ordinance. Because of these advantages, cone penetration testing has quickly become one of the preferred tools in the geotechnical engineer’s toolbox.

In this seminar, this technology is presented within a consistent, coherent, and practical framework. The general topics covered will include using CPT to evaluate:

  • Stratigraphy and Soil Behavioral Type

  • Parameter Evaluation (ϒ, φ', c’, OCR, E)

  • Undrained Shear Strength, soil sensitivity, and soil rigidity

  • Consolidation and permeability properties using Pore Pressure Dissipation Testing

  • Critical State Soil Mechanics

  • Seismic design parameters and liquefaction potential

  • Foundation design and correlation with axial pile design/testing

This course will include case studies and many of the topics included in FHWA Geotechnical Engineering Circular No. 5 – Evaluation of Soil and Rock Properties and NCHRP Synthesis 368 Report on Cone Penetration Testing. Dr. Mayne has presented seminars on cone penetration testing to engineering and geologic professionals around the world. A CPT field demonstration will also be performed.

This Full Day Seminar is pending review for 6 PDHs.

Sponsorships are available!

Geotechnical Group Tech Dinner: Scour Evaluation Method for NJ Bridges

Scour Evaluation Method for New Jersey Bridges

Presented by: John Schuring, Ph.D., PE Senior Technical Adviser, HNTB Corporation

The Scour Evaluation Model (SEM) is a risk-based scour analysis procedure that is now approved by NJDOT and FHWA for use on New Jersey’s existing, non-tidal bridges. The model functions like an expert-system by evaluating key geotechnical, hydrologic, and hydraulic factors, as well as a bridge’s past performance and longevity. This presentation will discuss the motivation, methodology, and output of the SEM method.
