Behind the Standard - ASTM C76, Circular Reinforced Concrete Pipe

In this webinar we will take a look into the requirements for pipe produced to ASTM C76, and some of the reasoning behind those requirements. Now that you have chosen the class of pipe you need, let’s take a look at what you are really getting!

MEMBERS ONLY: Best of Pipe School: Webinar Series : PART 3

Proper curing is necessary for the production of quality concrete pipe and manholes. Learn about the importance, and purpose, of moisture and temperature in the curing process, as well as ways to make curing more effective.

Engineering Ethics

Engineering ethics is more than just an ideal, it is the foundation of our profession. This course will explore the past cases, hypothetical concepts, and the current canons of Ethics from two different engineering societies.

The course is broken down into four easily consumed sections:

1. History

2. Canons

3. Current Events

4. Application.

Attendees should expect to achieve the following learning objectives at the end of the course: • The differences between micro and macro ethics concepts, and when each of these should be considered. • Understanding the history of professional ethics in the engineering field, and exploring when the Health, Safety, and Wellbeing of the public became the most important ethical standard. • How to incorporate ethics into daily life, so that the big dilemmas don't feel quite so daunting.

1. Soil basics, terminology, and the importance of proper evaluation and construction;

2. Table 2 – USCS, AASHTO, and USDA comparison;

3. Compaction equipment, lift thicknesses, practices, and testing;

4. Quick checks in the field & lessons learned;

5. AASHTO #57 Aggregate;

6. Jobsite and excavation safety.
