How will the Council on Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) Phase 2 regulations affect industry project delivery and timelines? This webinar will identify the new changes in the regulations and how to successfully implement them to minimize impact on project delivery.

Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls are widely used in transportation projects due to their cost-saving, time-efficient, and resilient nature. Recently, the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Federal Highway Administration have outlined new design changes to improve the service life of the walls in the FHWA Geotechnical Engineering Circular (GEC) 011. This webinar will provide background and an overview of four design approaches for MSE walls: the coherent gravity method, the simplified method, the stiffness method, and the limit equilibrium method.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has increased transportation investments and accountability in reaching broad goals, such as carbon reduction, safety, and accessibility. Those tasked with accomplishing these goals must assess their programs and investments. This webinar will share effective practices by transportation agencies to assess the effectiveness of investments and performance-based planning practices.
