EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATION
Wednesday 12:30 pm
We have an exciting Opening Presentation!
The Concrete Preservation Institute (CPI), has expanded to Pearl Harbor as an official Career Skills Program for the US Army. Active duty military service members from any military service branch may apply to participate during their final 180 days of military service. 2016 marks the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, a time vividly impressed upon the American mind and heart. Standing today as strong and quiet reminders of American strength and tenacity and the last remaining visible evidence of Pearl Harbor's Battleship Row, the historic concrete mooring quays are in need of repair and preservation.
This presentation will tell the story of these significant mooring structures, their unique design, significant role before the attack and during the subsequent post-attack salvage that resulted in nearly all ships returning to the sea to avenge the United States in the Pacific, their subsequent deterioration over 75 years of chloride exposure in Pearl Harbor, and plans to repair and preserve them while training active duty military personnel seeking careers across the US mainland upon transition out of the military.
Scott Burghardt, the Vice President and Director of Operations for the Concrete Preservation Institute will show us CPI project - dehelping preserve nationally significant landmark structures and monuments such as the preservation of the Battleship Row mooring quays.
About the Concrete Preservation Institute
CPI is a non-profit educational foundation that trains active duty military service members and post-9/11 veterans for careers while they help preserve nationally significant landmark structures and monuments. CPI is an official Career Skills Program for the US military and partner of the US National Park Service with Field School locations at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where the focus is preservation of the Battleship Row mooring quays, and Alcatraz Island, California.
Friday 10 am Performance of Corrosion Inhibiting Admixtures in a Marine Environment - Prof. Ian N. Robertson, PhD, S.E.
Corrosion of reinforcing steel is a major contributor to early deterioration of concrete structures in a coastal environment. We will discuss the results of an 8-year field monitoring study involving reinforced concrete panels exposed to a marine environment. Seven different corrosion inhibiting admixtures were used in the study to compare their effectiveness at preventing or delaying onset of corrosion while exposed to the tidal zone in Honolulu Harbor. This study was funded by the Hawaii Department of Transportation, Harbors Division, in order to evaluate commercially available corrosion inhibiting admixtures when used in concretes made with basalt aggregates common to Hawaii and other Pacific Islands.
Dr. Ian Robertson is a Professor of Structural Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He received his MS and PhD degrees at Rice University in Houston, Texas. After receiving his doctorate, he spent three years working for Walter P. Moore and Associates, a structural engineering consulting company in Houston, Texas, before being licensed as a professional engineer in the State of Texas. In 1992 he accepted a faculty position at the University of Hawaii where he teaches structural engineering courses in reinforced and prestressed concrete and steel design. He is a registered structural engineer in the State of Hawaii and served as president of the Structural Engineers Association of Hawaii in 2008.
His research interests include the long-term behavior of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, corrosion of reinforcing steel and galvanized light gage steel, and the performance of steel and concrete structures during seismic, hurricane, tsunami and other extreme loading events.
Friday 11 am - High Performance Geopolyment Concrete using Hawaiian Fly Ash
Dr. Lin Shen, P.E., assistant professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Hawaii at Manoa. He received Ph.D. from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research focuses on self-consolidating concrete, geopolymer and other sustainable concretes, concrete for space exploration purposes, rheology, testing a nd modeling concrete physical properties, non-destructive testing, alkali-silica reaction, aggregate packing theories, microstructure characterization, and early age properties of concrete.
An innovative testing method on self-consolidating concrete originally developed by Dr. Shen has been adopted as a United States National Standard Test (AASHTO PP58-2012). His work on developing “lunar concrete” with the potential to build human bases on the Moon and Mars) received broad media coverage. Dr. Shen has served as PI and co-PI of multiple projects and co-authored ~30 peer-reviewed articles. Dr. Shen is also the recipient of Northrop Grumman Excellence in Teaching Award, and Hi Chang Chai Excellence in Teaching Award (University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2013).
