Geotechnical Engineering Seminar (September 7, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54889 54889-13651917@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 7, 2018 4:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Towards geotechnical site characterization, seismic piezocone penetration testing (SCPTu) offers up to five separate measurements with depths from a single sounding: cone tip resistance (qt), sleeve friction (fs), porewater pressure (u2), time rate dissipation (t50), and shear wave velocity (Vs). Thus it is an expedient and economical means for obtaining stratification of the ground and the determination of a variety of soil engineering parameters for analysis and design, including nonlinear stress-strain-strength curves for clays and sands. Calibration and documentation of selected geoparameters are presented with statistical datasets. Moreover, direct CPT methodologies have been developed for application to shallow footings, piling foundations, and seismic liquefaction evaluation. Case studies are presented to show the utilization of SCPTu in geotechnics.

Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Leakage is a major safety issue that, if left unchecked, may result in dam failure by various mechanisms. However, a lack of appropriate leakage investigation and monitoring can result in repairs that are unsuccessful in controlling or reducing leakage. A series of techniques have been developed to help in the assessment of leakage and seepage in dams. These techniques allow for identification of recharge zones, preferential paths, and transit times, which aid in monitoring and mitigating the dam leakage. The presentation describes various techniques and reviews several projects in the United States and abroad involving detection and prevention of dam and reservoir leakage, including leakage evaluation, analysis, design, construction, and post-construction verification of repairs.

Located in Dubai, UAE, the Burj Khalifa Tower is the world’s tallest man-made structure. The skyscraper soars to over a half mile high (828 meters, 2717 feet). The 280,000 square meter (3 million square feet) reinforced concrete multi-use tower is utilized for retail, a six star Giorgio Armani hotel, residential and office. The goal of the Burj Khalifa Tower is not simply to be the world’s highest building; it’s to embody the world’s highest aspirations. Utilizing amazing images, this energetic presentation will discuss the philosophy behind the construction, structural and sustainable design of the world’s tallest structure.

Larry Novak (Portland Cement Association) served on the structural design team for this structure.

Today, responsible, constructive modeling of a structure requires more than the latest software. It requires an understanding of the structure and a definitive load path for gravity and live loads to move through the structure to the foundations. We will explore dome-like roof structures and the consequences of claiming, ”But It Worked in the Model”

A New Approach to Resonant Column Testing (October 11, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56455 56455-13905915@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 11, 2018 4:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

The presentation is about a new approach for performing, analyzing test data, and modeling the shear modulus and damping from Resonant Column Tests. The “New Approach” makes use of the transfer function method of John P. Wolf (Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction) for modeling the soil specimen as a viscoelastic, distributed mass element. The new solution is simple and easy to implement with a spreadsheet. It provides for accurate determination of shear modulus and damping over a range of frequencies not just the resonant frequency. The analysis of data is done for each applied value of torque and frequency and captures the true nonlinear properties of soil. The method is the basis for the new ASTM Standard D4015-15ε1. Dr. Drnevich will discuss additional uses of the new approach for simulation and modeling.

Vince Drnevich received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in civil engineering from the University of Notre Dame and he completed the Ph.D. degree at the University of Michigan. He held faculty positions
at the University of Kentucky and Purdue University, serving as Chair and Acting Dean at Kentucky and the Head of School at Purdue. His research focuses on the engineering properties of soils, especially as measured by stress wave propagation and electromagnetic wave propagation. Dr. Drnevich has been recognized for both his teaching and research by many national awards from the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Society for Testing and Materials, and the American Society for Engineering Education.

Mapping the Underworld of Buried Utilities (October 31, 2018 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57188 57188-14128649@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 31, 2018 1:00pm

Records of the locations and properties of vast underground utility networks are incomplete, inaccurate, and many times unavailable. This lack of information of underground pipes poses a critical challenge to maintaining and upgrading underground infrastructure, a grand engineering challenge outlined by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). It is also a main reason for the over six million of utility interruptions every year that cause injuries, fatalities, property damages, and environmental pollutions, amounting to billions of dollars in loss. Although sensing methods such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been exploited and proven its promise, it usage in urban environment is limited because of the complexity of the underworld and its reflection on the GPR signals and image signatures. We have created new methods to more accurately determine the location and dimension of underground pipes by fusing data from utility specifications and regulations and contextual cues, termed as “virtual sensors”, and GPR scans. Algorithms have been devised to extract image signatures from GPR radargrams to guide field robots in real-time, extract spatial rules from text documents, and integrating multiple sources of heterogeneous data. Research findings have been implemented as an autonomous robotic system with the capacity of adapting to complex spatial configurations of underground networks to generate accurate, geospatial 3D pipe models. Research findings are expected to shift the paradigm of the current practice in mapping underground pipes.

Behaviorally Stable Vehicle Platooning for Energy Savings (November 1, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57190 57190-14128651@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 1, 2018 3:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory

A cooperative vehicle platoon is a set of vehicles driving together with low in-vehicle distance enabled by the connected and automated vehicle technology. One of the major benefits of vehicle platooning is energy savings due to air drag reduction. However, as vehicles at different positions in a platoon save differently from the platooning, e.g., the lead vehicles may save little, some drivers or owners of vehicles may not be willing to join or stay in the platoon even if they are advised to do so, yielding behaviorally unstable platoons. The instability further lead to chaos in traffic flow, which is likely to bring unnecessary traffic congestions. As such behavioral side of the problem has been drawn little attention in literature, this study intends to fill this void by focusing on the drivers and owners’ economic consideration of platooning. We envision a freeway system where vehicles are capable of platooning but each platoon has limited size. A novel utility function is proposed to measure a vehicle’s benefit in platooning. Based on that, a mathematical programming model is established to find the optimal platoon formation that specifies which vehicles should be platooned together and their platoon speeds as well as positions to achieve the maximum system benefit. A benefit allocation mechanism, either charges or compensates the vehicles, is then created to incentivize them to form and maintain the desired platoon formation. The model framework is further extended to the setting with an environmental concern, where the proposed mechanism has been shown to benefit not only the vehicles, but also the whole society by bringing greater reductions on traffic emissions.

Windstorms cause the most damage annually of any natural hazard in the United States. In most years, an overwhelming percentage of this damage is caused by severe convective storms (i.e., thunderstorms and tornadoes). Despite these losses, very little is known about the characteristics of these events, their relation to wind loading, and how they differ from current prescriptions available in wind load codes and standards. This talk will focus on the ongoing and future work that is occurring at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in an attempt to increase understanding of these phenomena and their impacts. Specifically, discussion will include: 1) characterization of tornado and thunderstorm winds relevant to engineering; 2) interpretation of the loading from these events and how they differ from wind load codes and standards 3) analysis of damage from recent tornado and thunderstorm events and 4) the development of a full-scale laboratory at UIUC to capture these events and address potential mitigation strategies.

Affordable and Wearable Biosensors to Understand Workers’ Mental and Physical Stress (November 7, 2018 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57193 57193-14128653@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 7, 2018 1:00pm

Occupational stress is defined as the harmful physical and mental responses that happen when job requirements are greater than a worker's capacity. Construction is one of the most stressful occupations because it involves physiologically and psychologically demanding tasks performed in a hazardous environment. Various survey instruments for measuring workers′ perceived mental and physical stress have been used, e.g., the perceived stress and fatigue severity scales. These methods can document subjects′ overall stress. However, they have several key limitations. They are subjective, invasive, and cannot be used for continuous stress monitoring. To address these issues, my doctoral research applies several signal processing and machine learning techniques to propose a comprehensive and efficient stress measurement framework by acquiring high-quality physiological signals from wearable biosensors at job sites. Results yielded a high of 80.13 % mental stress and 90.00% physical stress recognition accuracy. These results are promising given that stress recognition with sensitive and wired physiological devices in the clinical domain has, at best, a similar level of accuracy. The proposed physiological signal-based stress recognition framework is expected to help us better understand workplace stressors and to improve worker productivity, safety, and well-being through early detection and mitigation of factors that cause stress.

As part of the design process, we typically work with others to design solutions to infrastructure problems, including identifying feasible solutions, evaluating the alternates, completing a design and overseeing construction. Professional engineers shall hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public with the design process. However, what happens when things do not go as planned on a design project? Jon and Catherine will present a case study from a slope failure project. The design process was supposed to stabilize an existing slope supporting a roadway, but resulted in a failure of a retaining wall. The project details will be presented to demonstrate the “lessons learned” from this project and to provide insight as to what type of issues may result on a project, even when there is “sound engineering analysis” to support the design.

Damage from recent earthquakes underscores the importance of developing new
approaches and technologies to improve the performance of structures during
earthquakes. The presentation will highlight applications of one class of smart
materials, shape memory alloys, in improving the performance of structures
subjected to earthquake loading. Shape memory alloys belong to a class of shape
memory materials which can undergo large deformations while reverting back to
their original, undeformed shape. This unique property has led to the development
of numerous applications in the biomedical, aerospace, and commercial industry. A
multi-scale and multi-disciplinary approach is taken to explore the potential use of
these systems for applications in earthquake engineering.

Canopy Interception: Understanding Leaf Wetness and its Influence on Vegetation Water and Carbon Fluxes (January 14, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59667 59667-14777903@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 14, 2019 10:00am
Location: BBB
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Canopy interception of rain, dew, and fog occurs in ecosystems worldwide. A ubiquitous effect of leaf wetness on plant water balance is the interference of the water droplets with the leaf energy balance, which increases leaf albedo and emissivity and decreases leaf temperature through droplet evaporation. This in turns affects the vegetation carbon uptake rate, with potential consequences for the whole global carbon cycle. Here, I use the specific example of dew deposition to understand how leaf wetness affects water and CO2 fluxes of plants. First, I will present a simple leaf energy balance that characterizes the effect of deposition and the evaporation of dew on transpiration and carbon uptake. The model is driven by five common meteorological variables and is used to explore the tradeoffs between energy, water, and carbon balances for leaves of different sizes across a range of environmental conditions. I will then present results from a laboratory experiment
where Colocasia esculenta leaves were misted with isotopically enriched water to mimic canopy interception. Leaf water isotopes and water potential measurements corroborates the results of the model.

We stand on the brink of the new knowledge revolution.

As the quantity of knowledge has exploded exponentially, the current means for representing knowledge—words and pictures that must be interpreted by humans—have reached their limits. Our ability to use the ever-growing body of scientific, biomedical knowledge rests on efforts to transform how knowledge is expressed into abstract models that can inform action through computation.

This persistent computable knowledge is the “Keystone” that holds the Learning Cycle Together. At the LHS Collaboratory Seminar Series event on Tuesday, January 15, learn about the movement underway to promote the advancement of computable biomedical knowledge. Join Rachel Richesson, PhD, MPH, from Duke University, along with colleagues from the University of Michigan to hear more about the movement and ways to join the community!

Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

In this talk, we try to address some of these challenges through predictive data
analytics methodologies designed for IoT enabled systems. Specifically, we establish non-parametric models that predict the evolution of condition/system monitoring signals through borrowing strength from historical and in-service data. These frameworks leverage on kernel methods, functional component analysis and
Bayesian inference. Further, we discuss how these methods can consistently scale to big data settings. The methodologies are validated using numerical studies and a case study with real world data in the application to cloud-based vehicle health
monitoring service systems.

Foamed Glass Aggregate (FGA) is a lightweight fill and insulation alternative that has been widely used in Europe over the past three decades for roadway, commercial, and residential construction. Beneficial properties of this material include a low unit weight, good insulating values, high friction angle, non-reactive behavior, volume stability, and porosity. Additionally, FGA is made from 100% recycled glass and has an attractive carbon and energy footprint compared to other lightweight fill and insulation options. This presentation will cover the history, manufacturing, engineering properties, application areas, and design considerations
for foamed glass aggregate. Several brief case studies will be described and will focus on recent projects installed in the U.S.

The art of origami can be used to create a rich variety of deployable, reconfigurable, and adaptable three-dimensional systems. By designing the geometry & mechanical properties of the origami, it is possible to create engineering systems ranging from micro-robots to large-scale adaptable architecture.This talk will present his group’s work on different origami geometries and discuss how their properties are suited to making unique functional structures. They will present cellular and tubular origami which can be used for stiff large-structures and energy absorbing devices. Using
curved creases, they'll show a broad range of possible geometric designs that possess highly anisotropic properties. An origami with a hyperbolic paraboloid geometry is used to achieve bistable and multi-stable characteristics that can aid in actuation. Finally, they'll show new work on using active material systems to achieve structures that can self-assemble. Lunch will be provided.

Professor Evgueni Filipov is an assistant professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. His research interests lie in the field of deployable and reconfigurable structural systems. Folding and adaptable structures based on the principles of origami can have practical applications ranging in scale and discipline from biomedical robotics to deployable architecture.

Towards Energy Justice: Exploring the Production and Persistence of Residential Urban Energy Disparities (January 25, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59674 59674-14777924@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 25, 2019 3:30pm

U.S. government action at the intersection of energy and equity is typically driven by either geopolitical or economic crises that affect energy prices, rather than by a comprehensive, long-term approach to addressing disparities in energy access and affordability. With one in three U.S. households facing challenges in paying energy bills, understanding residential energy disparities is key to achieving energy justice. This presentation introduces the energy justice framework and explores the production and persistence of disparities in urban residential energy dynamics,
focused primarily on energy efficiency. The results of cases studies in Kansas City and Detroit demonstrate how spatial, racial, and socioeconomic disparities manifest in urban areas, and how community-based approaches to increasing can help overcome barriers to energy justice.

Tony G. Reames is an assistant professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability, Director of the Urban Energy Justice Lab, and a Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health JPB Environmental Health Fellow. He has a BS in Civil Engineering, a Masters in Engineering Management (MEM), and a PhD in Public Administration.

The classical soil mechanics has been founded to support practice-driven geotechnical engineering solutions. In terms of fundamental soil properties, classical soil mechanics uses the basic mechanics concepts and utilizes experimentally observed soil behavior to develop application-driven engineering parameters. The microscopic mechanisms of these parameters are typically overlooked. This presentation will describe a framework that integrates computational models with characterization of the fundamental properties of soils to understand the structural and interaction bases of soil engineering parameters. The framework allows predicting soil engineering behaviors from the most fundamental characterizations. It has the potential of transforming soil mechanism into a predictive mechanics and catalyze the introduction of new sets of experimental tools for soil mechanics research.

Estimating environmental impacts of a system at an early design stage provides insights into the overall impact of a new technology and offers the greatest opportunities for improvement. Unfortunately, products at an early stage of development lack sufficient data to perform a traditional life cycle assessment (LCA).
There has been significant research on the diffusion of innovations to understand
potential market penetration of a new technology, adopter characteristics, and displacement effects. Diffusion of innovation concepts are useful when constructing scenarios for consequential LCA and understanding how different policy or design
choices may affect overall technology adoption and market penetration.
This seminar will present methods to construct future scenarios within the context of consequential LCA to identify preferable options for new technology design or policy development. A number of case studies will be explored, discussing research projects that involve assessment of transportation fuels, carbon capture and storage, and penetration of refrigerated food supply chains in developing countries.

Professor Miller's research uses life cycle assessment and scenario modeling to identify environmental problems before they occur. Historically, our society has taken a reactionary approach to the environment. By proactively understanding the environmental issues of emerging technologies, we can identify a greater number of options and more creative solutions to avoid or reduce negative consequences. Miller's research group works on a variety of energy-related topics, including the energy-water nexus, bioenergy, refrigeration in the food system, and autonomous vehicles.

Conveyance systems for drinking water to major cities are critical infrastructure components. Most systems utilize a combination of pipelines and tunnels, which were typically built 50 to 100 years ago. Some of these systems are either susceptible to risks of rupture or failure, or are experiencing significant operations and maintenance issues. Two examples from opposite coasts in North America are the Delaware Aqueduct in New York State, and the Second Narrows Undercrossing in Vancouver, British Columbia. For the Delaware Aqueduct, a portion of the original tunnel is experiencing significant leakage below the Hudson River within a high-permeability rock mass. For the Second Narrows Undercrossing, construction of three pipelines across the Burrard Inlet at shallow depths and in liquefiable soils put them at risk for both scour/anchor strike damage and failure during the potential large earthquakes that could occur in the area. Specific issues and technical challenges will be presented for each project.

Sustainable and wind-resilient building design requires realistic modelling of urban microclimate interaction with building at various scales (component → building → neighbourhood → city). This includes both (i) normally recurring microclimate conditions driven by thermal variations and/or normal wind for building energy performance design, and (ii) extreme climate conditions such as hurricane landfall, tornado touchdown or extreme winter for capacity and safety design. Alan Davenport’s “wind-loading-chain” links the modelling of extreme synoptic wind, exposure, aerodynamics, and dynamics to particular design criteria. Its expansion to (i) non-synoptic extreme winds such as tornadoes and downbursts; (ii) normal micro-climatic loads such as thermal loads, (iii) optimal tall building/bridge aerodynamic solutions; (iv) performance based wind design methods for emerging tall-mass-timber buildings; and (v) community level wind performance assessments, will be presented, through representative research projects from each category. The roles of computational fluid dynamics and Artificial Intelligence (deployed at SHARCNet) complimenting the physical experiments (enabled by the Boundary Layer Wind
Tunnel Laboratory and WindEEE Dome) in realizing windresilient and sustainable architectural engineering will be emphasized.

Dr. Bitsuamlak is Canada Research Chair in Wind Engineering at Western University. He serves as Director (Research) for both the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory and WindEEE Research Institute, and Western’s Site-leader for SHARCNet computing centre. His team is actively working on modelling microclimate effects to enhance the performance of buildings and cities for extreme wind (e.g. hurricane and tornado safety), and normal climate (Building thermal and energy performance).

Geomechanics of Sinkholes (February 21, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60866 60866-14979678@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 21, 2019 4:00pm

Sinkholes pose a major threat to environment, infrastructure, and human safety. They can develop via a cluster of inter-related processes, including bedrock dissolution, rock collapse, soil washing away, and soil collapse. Current practices involved in the sinkhole hazard assessment are generally of a qualitative, empirical nature and largely based on geological characteristics of the karst terrains. This talk aims to present a quantitative analysis of the interplay of multiple mechanisms involved during sinkhole development. The dominant mechanism behind sinkholes formed in rocks is the dissolution of soluble karstic rocks. Dissolution process may be enhanced by potentially aggressive groundwater acidity and the presence of caves or fissures. Specific dissolution rate of the constituent mineral (limestone or dolomite) and the surface area available for reaction are related via a chemo-mechanical coupling with the consideration of the damage-enhanced dissolution mechanism. The second part of the analysis explores the cover collapse type of sinkholes in which the critical mechanism is the growth and upward propagation of cavity. A strain-softening constitutive model is used to describe the strength evolution dependent on accumulated plastic deviatoric strain and erosion progression of soils around the cavity. The numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of expanding classical geomechanics to address intricate, often coupled processes in sinkholes.

Geotechnical engineers are frequently faced with addressing seismicity issues
associated with construction of new buildings or additions to existing buildings. According to building codes and related guidelines, the geotechnical engineer has several methods to evaluate seismicity issues at sites where new construction is planned. The findings developed from the geotechnical engineer’s evaluation are then used by the project structural engineer in their design of the proposed building. This presentation will provide a broad overview of Mr. Jedele’s experience with the methods available in the geotechnical engineer’s toolbox and include several case histories where these tools have been used and compared with each other.

Mr. Jedele received his baccalaureate and MS degrees from the University of Michigan. He is a Past President of the ASCE Geo-Institute Board of Governors, and he is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Academy of Geo-Professionals.

Water and wastewater treatment are key to protect humans in cities by providing safe water and urban hygiene and to protect the aquatic environment from pollutants. Over the past century, urban water management allowed for healthy and pleasant living conditions in ever-growing cities in many parts of the world. This presentation will discuss the potential for local reuse of treated greywater and drivers for implementation. What are the scientific and technological challenges? How can appropriate local water reuse be implemented in a way that it does not jeopardize today’s achievements in urban water management and urban hygiene? Basic sciences for gravity driven membrane (GDM) filtration and technology development for reuse of hand washing water in informal settlements or resource recovery at the building scale will be discussed.

Dr. Eberhard Morgenroth is a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology. His research interests include wastewater treatment, membrane bioreactors for water reuse, control of biofilms, biofilm reactors, biological drinking water treatment, decentralized wastewater treatment, and energy recovery from wastewater and organic residuals.

ABSTRACT: The millimeter-wave frequency spectrum is in increasing demand for wireless applications including communication and radar. Nitrogen-polar GaN devices at UCSB have now shown transformative performance with record-breaking power density of 8 W/mm and excellent efficiency in the W-band (75-110 GHz) frequency range. This talk will discuss some of UCSB's work on deep recess N-polar GaN MISHEMTs which has enabled this performance. The focus will be on this researcher's contribution to UCSB's N-polar GaN device program which has been to develop new methods to characterize and model these devices in a way which provides quick and insightful feedback for designing improved devices. This is achieved by providing unambiguous evaluations of large-signal performance by load pull at extremely high frequency, and using accurately extracted equivalent circuit models to identify which specific aspects of the device can be adjusted to realize improvements in performance. These methods led to improvement in the efficiency at 94 GHz from 17% to 28%, while the power density was increased to 8 W/mm. New characterization and modeling techniques are underway to understand and improve the linearity of the device, because distortion in amplifiers is of increasing importance for complex digital modulation schemes employed in modern communication systems.
