Assessment of Bentonite Barriers Performance by
Coupling Intrinsic and State Parameters
9:45 – 10:30 am
Keynote Speaker: Mario E.
Manassero, Ph.D., P.E., M.ASCE,
Politecnico di Torino
Mario Manassero will present a theoretical
framework that can describe chemical,
hydraulic, and mechanical behaviors of
bentonites in one-dimensional strain and flow
fields. In particular, he will discuss relationships
linking the chemico-physical and mechanical intrinsic and state parameters
of a given bentonite with its hydraulic conductivity, effective diffusion
coefficient, osmotic efficiency, and swelling pressure under different stress
histories and solute concentration sequences. He will also provide examples
to assess the influence of pre-treatments, such as the pore water salt removal
through a cyclic squeezing process, and confining stress history on the
long-term hydraulic behavior of the tested bentonites when permeated
with highly concentrated salt solutions within a series of laboratory test
results. The osmotic coefficient and swelling pressure variations, versus the
ion valence and concentration in solution, have also been experimentally
investigated, and the test results have been simulated using the proposed
theoretical framework. The proposed model seems to make a comprehensive
understanding of the involved chemico-mechanical phenomena possible and
to provide a reliable assessment of the hydraulic conductivity, osmotic, and
self-healing efficiency of the considered bentonites.

Infusing Sustainability Into Geotechnics:
Opportunity for a New Value Proposition
9:00 – 9:45 am
Keynote Speaker: Craig H. Benson, Ph.D., P.E., D.GE, NAE,
F.ASCE, University of Virginia
Unprecedented demand for natural
resources, increases in energy usage, and
emission of greenhouse gases has made
sustainability an important issue for society.
Many strategic plans in the public and
private sectors have sustainability as a
central theme, and analysis has shown that
planning for sustainability provides social
and economic benefits. Strategies around
sustainability prioritize energy efficiency, reuse and recycling, reduced
consumption, and lower emissions. Designing to meet these initiatives
provides a new opportunity for geo-engineers that can create new value
for clients, and new technical and economic opportunities for engineers.
This presentation describes the technical case for making sustainability

applications the academic and practice worlds can offer you.
Geotechnical Risks Posed by Dams and Levees:
Advances in the Science and Practice of Internal
Erosion
9:00 – 9:45 am
Keynote Speaker: Nathan J.
Snorteland, P.E., Risk Management
Center, US Army Corps of Engineers
During the 1970’s and 1980’s, many
dams and levees failed due to inadequate
understanding of the process of internal erosion
and a lack of defensive measures designed
to resist the hydraulic loads. Beginning in the
late 1980s and early 1990s, several groups
began investigating these processes by using empirical studies, laboratory
testing, forensic investigation, and full-scale modeling. Starting from a
foundation rooted in Potential Failure Modes Analysis, several approaches
have been developed to characterize the risks posed by internal erosion.
As a result, the industry has made significant progress towards our
understanding of how structures fail from these mechanisms. Today there
are also many universities, private consultants, and government agencies
world-wide that are investing significant resources to better understand the
problem. This presentation will discuss the history, current practices, and
ongoing research being conducted to better characterize risks posed by
internal erosion. Additionally, efforts to improve design and construction
practices to reduce these risks will be described and a brief discussion
of the opportunities that exist to further advance the science will also be
included.

Geoenvironmental Challenges With Reactive Mine
Wastes Disposal
9:00 – 9:45 am
Keynote Speaker: Michel
Aubertin, Ing., Ph.D., M.ASCE, École
Polytechnique de Montréal
Mining is a key industry for the economy
of many regions. These operations can
also raise various environmental concerns.
One of the main issues is the production
of large amount of the solid and liquid
wastes, which must be properly managed.
Detailed planning of the disposal facilities needs to take into account
the geotechnical and geochemical stability of the waste materials
and infrastructures. Innovative management and reclamation practices
are being developed to address critical geoenvironmental concerns.
This presentation will recall some of the main challenges associated
with the disposal of reactive (sulphidic) wastes from hard rock mines,
including coarse-grained waste rock and fine-grained tailings. Typical
geotechnical and hydrogeological properties of these materials will be
summarized, and commonly used disposal and construction methods will
be described. The main factors that affect the stability of reactive wastes
and retaining works will be reviewed. An emphasis will be placed on
the assessment and potential effects of natural conditions and critical

Carl Monismith Lecture on Pavement
Engineering, 2016
4:00 – 5:30 pm, Sheraton Ballroom 1-3
The Geo-Institute of ASCE has established a lecture in recognition of
Professor Carl L. Monismith’s contribution to pavement engineering.
Professor Monismith’s teaching and research career in pavement
technology, at the University of California, Berkeley, spans more than
50 years. Throughout this period, he has mentored numerous graduate
students who have disseminated advances in pavement technology around
the world. The lecture is awarded annually for outstanding research
contributions in pavement engineering.
Sustainable Pavement Systems: The Impact of
Geo‑Mechanics and Geo-Science
2016 Award Lecturer: Dallas N. Little,
Ph.D., P.E., Dist.M.ASCE, Regents
Professor, E. B. Snead Chair Professor of
Transportation and Civil Engineering, Texas
A&M University
The pavement engineer must consider the
pavement as a system in order to meet
the demanding challenge of achieving
sustainability, which often infers little or no
perceptible damage and/or permanent deformation in the lower asphaltbound layers and the supporting base layers. To achieve this goal, the
pavement engineer is often charged to do the job that he or she does so
well: serve as an integrator of interdisciplinary knowledge, in this case
geo-mechanics and geo-science. This lecture highlights key examples
where cross-cutting of knowledge from these areas of geo-technology has
made a significant difference in the sustainability of the pavement system.

Technical Tour
Northern Indiana Steel Mill
8:00 am – 2:00 pm
Phoenix Services, LLC will host a half-day tour of its iron recovery and
slag processing facilities at ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor, one of four
northern Indiana Steel Mills. The tour will begin with an overview of
the geotechnical, environmental, and geochemical characteristics of
slag material and its use in multiple branches of civil engineering.
Phoenix takes unprocessed, molten blast furnace (BF) and basic
oxygen furnace (BOF) slags from the dumping pits or pot carriers
and either water or air cools these materials prior to commercial
processing. The cooled, solidified slag is then put through drop ball
and crushing/screening plants with magnetic separation to recover the
iron and steel scrap back to the mill. The slag materials are processed
into a variety of aggregates that are sized for conventional highway
construction applications (rip rap, base, asphalt, gravels down to
concrete sands), mineral wool, water/wastewater treatment and other
select uses. These finished products are then exported from mill via
trucking or barges/ships to end users in the Great Lakes region.
Depending on mill operations on the exact day of the tour, the
site visit will include observation of all of these processes in order
to gain an appreciation of how slag products are generated and
the level of quality assurance/quality control that makes them a
reliable material for civil engineering uses.
These mills are MARSEC sites, personal ID (passport or U.S. drivers
license) will be required for site access. No cameras allowed.
Attendees must wear long pants, long sleeves, and closed-toe shoes;
be prepared for heat. All other relevant PPE will be provided.
Meet in the hotel lobby at 7:30 am.
