Session 45 Room: B242-243 Spray Applied Pipe Liners Organizer: Jeffrey Syar Moderator: Robert Shenal Structural Testing and Modeling Analysis of Geopolymer Pipe-lining Joseph Royer, Milliken Infrastructure Solutions, Spartanburg, SC This session reviews a geopolymer mortar system that has been used in the U.S. since 2011 for trenchless rehabilitation of storm and wastewater conveyance infrastructure. The system is spray cast either by rotary nozzle or via traditional shotcrete delivery systems placed inside the existing structures to create a new structure. This rehabilitation process does not depend on the residual structural capacity of the existing structure, but utilizes it as a "mold". This session will report observations made during laboratory testing of thirty-seven (37) geopolymer-mortar lined RCP, CMP and cardboard tube specimens which were subjected to D-load testing. Various liner thicknesses, pipe diameters and ovalities were evaluated. The measured test data was compared with predictions made using published engineering models. Structural Polyurethane and the Rehabilitation of Pipes Chip Johnson, SprayRoq, Irondale, AL Since 1990, with the introduction of structural polyurethane linings and foam to the market portfolio, these technologies have conquered infrastructure stabilization challenges. The impact of these technologies mitigates or eliminates the constant issues that plague the industry: degradation caused by corrosion. The technologies were developed to complement emerging technologies using ANSI and ASTM standards that could rehabilitate an already corroded structure, provide significant strength, provide an extended lifetime, a fast-curative technology and a fast return to service when compared with other technologies. These other technologies are often semi-rigid polyurethanes, polyureas and epoxies that do not provide the structural integrity, short curative time and high build capacity necessary to structurally rehabilitate and prevent further corrosion. The advantages of structural polyurethane allow for an economic and ergonomic technology that can reinforce, repair, prevent and reduce the costs that will ultimately occur without the use of these technologies.
Structural Performance of Engineered Concrete Liners Ed Kampbell, Rehabilitation Resource Solutions, Hilliard, OH This presentation will present a proposed design methodology for arriving at the minimum wall thickness required to produce what the engineering community has requested of this type of liner; a standalone soil-structure interaction system that ignores the host structure's presence in the ground going forward. Given the current state of the stresses within the existing soil-structure interaction system, specially engineered fine aggregate concrete liners have the ability to provide engineers with very efficient structures when correctly coupled with the surrounding soil's current and future performance capabilities. It is therefore important that the surrounding soil's performance potential be properly incorporated into the design process; a design step that, at present, is not always being adhered to by the engineering community. The proposed design methodology is one that has seen much use over the past 4.5 years in a variety of pipe shapes and sizes, applications, and non-standard installation conditions; and through these experiences, has been refined to address the gamut of the types of installations that occur and what the design methodology must capable of accommodating. For a true in-situ replacement, the design of a "new fine aggregate concrete pipe" must account for a wide range of site-specific variables to properly calculate the best wall thickness for each application. An abbreviated look at the engineering required to properly formulate and validate these liner systems is provided to illustrate that one must reach beyond performing ASTM materials testing standards that support a particular product's strong points while failing to implement an objective, qualificationsbased testing program (QBTP) that validates a liner's future in-situ performance. Also reviewed are the application method(s) used in the subject liner's installation process incorporated into this QBTP to insure that the design will be done with the "as-applied" engineering properties.

Session 52 Room: B130 Cirque Data Soleil Organizer: John Gray Moderator: John Gray Using GPS Based Origin-Destination Data to Improve Traffic Studies Mike Wahlstedt, TranSystems Corporation, Kansas City, MO Estimating travel patterns for traffic studies such as traffic impact analyses and corridor studies is a critical element of the study process, however, traditionally sources for this data have been limited to travel demand model output or "engineering judgement". New sources of data are now available that can significantly increase the accuracy and understanding of travel patterns within the transportation network. This data is anonymously aggregated from GPS devices such as phones and fleet vehicles and provides an insight into travel metrics that was not available before. TranSystems has utilized this data in several ways. Examples include development of vehicle routing patterns for simulation modeling on corridor studies, estimating re-routing of traffic due to planned changes in roadway networks and for developing traffic routing for traffic impact studies. This presentation will demonstrate how this data was applied for these various applications and some of the insights learned in the process. Utilizing Bluetooth Technology for Engineering Applications Sam Bobko, Mott MacDonald, Cleveland, OH Traditional traffic data and collection means aren't always sufficient to fully examine existing and proposed roadway conditions. This presentation will cover a case study on SR 82 in Trumbull County where Bluetooth technology was used to build an area-wide 3D traffic model to simulate existing conditions and allow a more thorough assessment of potential improvements to address traffic and safety. Data Business Plans: A Tool to Maximize Mobility and Safety Data to Support Planning and Operations Anita Vandervalk, Cambridge Systematics, Inc., Tallahassee, FL A key challenge for transportation agencies today relates to maximizing the utility of the large number of data streams currently available to support mobility, safety, technology deployment, asset management, performance management and transportation system management and operations. Many State DOTs and regional transportation agencies have developed Data Business Plans to plan for efficient use of people, processes, and technology; link business objectives, programs, and processes to data systems, services and products; and guide future data management practices. These Data Business Plans: help understand what mobility/safety data is being collected; help understand how the data supports mobility planning, operations & performance measure activities; help understand who is responsible for managing/updating the data; solidify working relationships; help identify duplicative data collection efforts; and lead to more rapid, targeted data acquisitions and reduced costs
