Mark D. Shaffer of IDOT will explain current and future IDOT policy changes. This will include explanation of the background for the revisions, such as changes in AASHTO design requirements or safety considerations. It also will include a brief overview of the calculations and detailing issues that led to the final policy. Structural engineers who work frequently with IDOT are encouraged to attend.
This Webinar will be broken into four sessions of two hours each from 9:00am to 11:00am:
- Tuesday, June 9, 2020
- Thursday, June 11, 2020
