Caltrans granted over $988 million early this year to improve and repair transportation infrastructure throughout the state. With the many failing structures in California and many in desperate need of an upgrade, this funding is both a benefit and a reminder to engineers that analyzing, monitoring, and rehabilitating are never-ending processes that help prevent all sorts of failures. During this seminar, engineers will learn from industry experts about popular trends and even get insights about Caltrans' use of midas Civil. We have guest speakers Sri Kotha, Ph.D., P.E., Senior Bridge Eng. from PGH Wong Engineering, and Quentin Marzari, P.E., S.E., Senior Bridge Engineer at Arup.

Sri Kotha will be presenting on the Design of Bridges Against Progressive Collapse. The discussion will summarize bridge design's “State-of-the-Art and Practice” for sudden failures and take a look at key design parameters such as redundancy, robustness, alternative load path(s), isolation, and much more. 

Quentin Marzari will present Advanced Features in Moving Load Analysis & Construction Stage Analysis. This presentation will focus on two key topics related to using Midas software. The first topic will include details on lane optimization, control data, moving load tracer, static load case conversion, and concurrent demand. The second topic will cover theoretical aspects such as accumulative staging, tangential erection, and lack of fit, followed by a showcase of a construction stage analysis setup. 

This is a perfect opportunity to learn about industry trends while networking with fellow engineers in your area! Each of the guest speaker's presentations is PDH certified. Attendees will receive a PDH certificate for 3 PDH hours at the end of the seminar. The seats are limited. Please register as soon as possible.
