SUMMARY:ESWP Program Committee presents..
DESCRIPTION:A Webinar – Multi-Modal Data Analytics for Predictive Human-AI Collaboration in Civil Infrastructure Systems\nCivil infrastructure systems—from bridges and water utilities to airport and highway operations—demand safe\, resilient\, and adaptive management in environments where uncertainty\, time pressure\, and system interdependence often challenge human performance. This presentation introduces a multi-modal data analytics framework for predictive human-AI collaboration that integrates sensor data\, human behavioral traces\, and simulation feedback to enhance safety\, consistency\, and situational awareness across infrastructure domains. By combining human expertise with machine intelligence\, the framework enables AI systems to learn from real-world decision patterns while providing interpretable\, context-aware support for operators and inspectors. \nCase studies will highlight applications in bridge inspection\, water system monitoring\, and airport operations\, showing how cognitive and behavioral modeling can reveal variability in human strategies and inform adaptive AI assistance. For bridge and water systems\, computer vision\, augmented reality\, and virtual inspection tools demonstrate how inspectors’ visual and tactile cues can be transformed into explainable digital insights to guide maintenance and asset management. In airport and transportation operations\, predictive analytics using Bayesian inference and recurrent neural networks forecast high-risk events such as loss-of-separation or flow bottlenecks\, supporting proactive intervention. Together\, these approaches establish a scalable foundation for human-AI teaming in civil infrastructure—improving reliability\, trust\, and resilience across the full infrastructure life cycle. \nPresenter \nDr. Pingbo Tang is an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University\, where he leads research on Human-AI collaboration and multi-modal data analytics for resilient civil infrastructure systems. His work integrates computer vision\, simulation\, and human systems engineering to improve decision-making in domains such as bridge inspection\, water system operations\, airport traffic control\, and highway construction. By modeling human cognition and operational behavior\, Dr. Tang develops AI-enabled inspection and training systems that enhance consistency\, safety\, and resource efficiency in infrastructure management. \nHe has published over 160 peer-reviewed papers and leads several federally funded projects supported by NSF\, DOT\, DOE\, and NASA. His innovations—including AR-guided inspection tools\, sensor-integrated digital twins\, and predictive analytics for infrastructure operations—advance both scientific understanding and workforce development. Dr. Tang is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award and the ASCE Daniel W. Halpin Award for Scholarship in Construction\, and serves as Associate Editor of the ASCE Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering and a founding editor of Journal of Developments in the Built Environment (Elsevier). \nEarn 1 PDH Credit – Registration required \nFree for ESWP Members – $20 for all others \n

SUMMARY:An ESWP Program Committee Webinar - Bonner Bridge Replacement
DESCRIPTION:A New Bridge over the Oregon Inlet\, Outer Banks\nPDH REQUEST FORM\nPresented by Nick Burdette\, HDR\, Pittsburgh\, PA\nTraveling the scenic North Carolina Outer Banks on NC Highway 12 requires crossing Oregon Inlet\, one of the most dangerous inlets on the Atlantic coast\, where treacherous currents\, constantly shifting bathymetry\, and violent storms are normal occurrences. Since its completion in 1962\, the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge served as that critical link between Hatteras and Bodie Islands. Unfortunately\, the Bonner Bridge has suffered from severe scour and deterioration in the harsh marine environment\, and has required nearly continual maintenance\, repair\, and retrofit. In 2011\, NCDOT awarded a design-build contract to replace the bridge\, requiring a 100-year service life\, design for up to 84’ of scour\, and minimal environmental impacts. The associated design and construction challenges created opportunities for innovation and creativity. The resulting 2.8 mile long bridge features extensive use of precast concrete construction for quality\, durability\, economy\, and constructability\, a first-of-its-kind driven pile foundation verification method\, and innovative\, environmentally-sensitive construction approaches. \n  \nFree to attend\, earn 1 PDH Credit\, from the comfort of your computer  \n  \n \n  \n← Click the computer to register (then use Register link on the left)

SUMMARY:An ESWP Program Committee Webinar
DESCRIPTION:GEOTECHNICAL REPORTS: PROPER USE IN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTING\nRecording: Facebook Live \n  \nPDH REQUEST FORM \n  \nPresented by Douglas M. Clark\, P.E.\, Civil & Environmental Consultants\, Inc.\, Pittsburgh\, PA \n  \nSubsurface conditions represent some of the largest uncertainties and risks in civil construction. Fortunately\, most owners recognize the need to perform a geotechnical investigation as part of the design development to obtain information pertinent to project design and construction. What is often less understood is how the geotechnical report and information should be used in design\, and how it applies to the construction contract. Many assume\, often incorrectly\, that the geotechnical report serves as a “baseline” for establishing the site conditions. While this may be true in some cases\, most standard contract general conditions (AIA\, EJCDC\, etc.) place the risks associated with subsurface conditions on the bidder\, and provide the geotechnical report only as information\, not as a contract document. This presentation discusses the issue of reliance on the geotechnical report by the parties involved\, presents case-studies\, and provides recommendations for owners and contractors to reduce risks. \n  \nFree to attend\, earn 1 PDH Credit\, from the comfort of your computer desk

SUMMARY:ESWP Webinar Training
DESCRIPTION:The Concrete Life Cycle: Maintain to Sustain\nEarn 1 PDH!\nConcrete is one of the most durable construction materials available\, but all too frequently we ignore its maintenance. Many of the techniques called “coating”\, “protection”\, and “corrosion mitigation” are in reality\, maintenance of concrete. The life span of concrete structures can be significantly extended by pro-actively addressing deterioration and durability issues through keeping water and other deleterious materials out of concrete after it has properly cured. \nPresented by Fred Goodwin\,\nFellow Scientist R&D/Technology BASF Construction Chemicals \nInstructions and link for webinar will be sent to your email address on September 22.
