Airport Energy Resilience Roadmap
Tuesday, December 3, 1-2:30 PM Eastern

As airports increasingly face the risk of energy service disruptions along with higher demand and costs, a strategic roadmap is critical. An airport-specific roadmap helps directors assess their current energy use, supply, and vulnerabilities; set clear goals and actionable strategies in collaboration with stakeholders to strengthen energy resilience; and prioritize these strategies within broader airport planning frameworks, including funding plans. This webinar will provide an overview of the research and steps involved in developing an airport energy resilience roadmap.

Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall Design Updates
Wednesday, December 11, 12-1:30 PM Eastern

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 Federal Highway Administration have outlined new design changes to improve the service life of the walls in the FHWA Geotechnical Engineering Circular 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.
