Slope Stabilization: Best Practices and Challenges ...application of best practices. There are well-established engineering principles for the design and maintenance of stable slopes. This teleconference summarizes practices to overcome challenges to enhance slope stability. Many engineers are faced with challenges to protect against the potential for slope failure. Indicators include sloughs, erosion and deep rotation/sliding failure. This  more...

Covenants Not to Compete and Trade Secrets ... statutes, the doctrine of inevitable disclosure, reverse engineering, developing a trade secret protection program, assignments of inventions by current employees, and associated state law claims often involved in trade secret and noncompetition lawsuits. This teleconference also explores litigation and client counseling strategies, with practical application of legal theories to typical  more...

Performance Evaluation and Rehabilitation of Constructed Bridges ... materials such as fiber reinforced polymer. Life cycling engineering and costing will be discussed. A case study will be provided to better understand the state-of-the-art rehabilitation technologies. The teleconference is particularly designed to provide an overview of the evaluation of existing bridges and state-of-the-art rehabilitation technologies. Learning Objectives: - You will be able  more...

Value Engineering Change Proposals in Government Contracting ...ntractors take advantage of a contractual tool, the Value Engineering ('VE') contract clause, which was established specifically to provide increased profits from cost reduction suggestions. Using a Value Engineering Change Proposal ('VECP'), a contractor may suggest a contract change that, if accepted and implemented, provides cost savings to the Government and a substantial share in those  more...

Roundabouts: Planning, Design Principles and Current Practices ...oven safety and operational benefits, proper planning and engineering design is essential for roundabouts to function correctly. This brief, yet practical, teleconference is your opportunity to better understand modern roundabouts and their installation, learn specific design skills and current practices, and apply roundabout design principles to projects in your region. This teleconference  more...
