SUMMARY:Thoughts on Our Future Vision for Structural Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Thoughts on Our Future Vision for Structural Engineering\nFrom the Structural Engineering Institute’s New President\nNortheastern  University Alumni Center\, 6th Floor. \n5PM – 7PM \nJoin us for this Northeastern University Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Distinguished Seminar\, hosted by the Northeastern SEI Graduate Student Chapter. \nGlenn Bell\, the Structural Engineering Institute’s New President\, will be delivering remarks at 6pm\, following a 5pm reception. \nABSTRACT: \nA future world where society is increasingly affected by massive population growth\, changing demographics\, scarce resources\, and a planet damaged by human activity presents great opportunities for structural engineers.  Simultaneously massive advances in technology promise to completely disrupt structural engineering as we know it today.   In response to this\, in 2013 the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) created and published A Vision for Structural Engineers and Structural Engineering: A Case for Change\, and has embarked on programs to achieve ambitious goals to bring about exciting change in our profession.  Since 2013 we have made gratifying advances in areas like promotion of performance-based design\, globalization\, and the engagement of the next generation of structural engineers. \nIn 2019 SEI updated its Vision and worked with the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations and the Council of American Structural Engineers to create and collaborate on a joint Vision.  New or enhanced future goals include developing future structural engineers as leaders\, resilience/sustainability\, and achieving greater diversity in our profession.  At the same time ASCE has embarked on an inspiring and thought-provoking Future World Vision to advance all of Civil Engineering. Glenn will report on SEI’s and ASCE’s ambitious plans and offer his own thoughts on initiatives he will stress as SEI’s President.  These include engaging and empowering the next generation of structural engineers\, strengthening the interaction between practice\, research\, and academia\, and reform in structural engineering education. \nBio:\nGlenn Bell’s term as SEI President commenced on 1 October 2019. \nGlenn is a Senior Principal of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger.  He has worked his entire 45-year career at SGH\, in creative structural design and in leading major investigations of structural distress and failure.  He was SGH’s CEO from 1995 through 2016.   Glenn is also Galletly-Dickson Visiting Scholar at the University of Bath in the UK. \nGlenn is a Board Trustee of the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) in the UK\, a Director of The Charles Pankow Foundation\, and a Director of the newly formed Confidential Reporting on Structural Safety in the US (CROSS-US).  For his professional leadership Glenn received the 2018 SEI President’s Award and the 2019 SEI Tewksbury Award.

SUMMARY:Traffic-Based Framework for Measuring the Resilience of Ground Transportation Systems under Normal and Extreme Conditions
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for the first Distinguished Seminar of the semester with Dr. Jesus de la Garza of Clemson University. \nABSTRACT: Ground transportation systems are essential for the mobility of people\, goods and services. Thus\, making sure these systems are resilient to the impact of natural and man-made disasters has become a top priority for engineers and policy makers. One of the major obstacles for increasing the resilience of ground transportation systems is the lack of a measuring framework. Such measuring framework is critical for identifying needs\, monitoring changes\, assessing improvements\, and performing cost-benefit analysis. This research addresses this problem by developing a traffic-based framework for measuring the resilience of ground transportation systems under normal and extreme conditions. The research methodology consisted of: (1) creating a microscopic traffic model of the road under study\, (2) simulating different intrusions and interventions\, and (3) measuring the resilience of the system under the different scenarios using the framework developed. This research expanded the current definition of infrastructure resilience\, which includes the assessment of system performance versus time\, to add a third dimension of resilience for ground transportation system’s applications\, namely: location. This third dimension considers how the system changes along the different locations in the network\, which reflects more accurately the continuous behavior of a ground transportation network. The framework was tested in a 24 km segment of Interstate 95 in Virginia\, near Washington\, D.C. Four hazard conditions were simulated: inadequate base capacity\, traffic incidents\, work zones\, and weather events. Intervention strategies tested include ramp meters and the use of the shoulder lane during extreme events. Public policy was also considered as a powerful intervention strategy. The findings of this research shed light over the current and future resilience of ground transportation systems when subject to multiple hazards\, and the effects of implementing potential interventions. \nBio: Dr. Jesús M. de la Garza is Professor and Chair of the Glenn Department of Civil Engineering at Clemson University.  Prior to joining Clemson\, he was the holder of the Vecellio Endowed Professorship in Construction Engineering and Management at Virginia Tech.  Dr. de la Garza has been inducted into the National Academy of Construction.  He has received the Faculty of the Year award from the ASCE’s student chapter\, ASCE’s Peurifoy Construction Research Award\, ASCE’s Thomas Fitch Rowland Prize\, ASCE’s Best Paper Award from the Technical Council on Computer Practices\, and has been elected to the grade of Distinguished Member of ASCE.  Dr. de la Garza has received CII’s Outstanding Researcher Award\, CII’s Distinguished Professor Award\, CII’s Outstanding Instructor Award and CII’s Richard L. Tucker Award for Leadership and Service.  Dr. de la Garza is a Fellow of the Construction Management Association of America and a Fellow of the Project Management College of Scheduling.
