Old Update - November 2010

PDH Section Updates
New links have been added to the PDH section of the website which connect to information on continuing education requirements from the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers, and the Pennsylvania State Board of Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists. Also, a link to our in-house PDH tracking log, as well as a seminar attendance sheet have been added.

PennDOT Memos & Updates
A link to an update to the design standards for box culverts (BD-632M) has been added to the Culvert Design section under the “References” section. Also, a recent memo concerning the selection of thermoplastic pipes for storm water management has been added to the newly created Roadway Design section of the website. Although this section is rather limited on information (only the above mentioned link is included as of now), this area of the website will hopefully become much more fleshed out in the near future.

BLCs
A link to PennDOT’s Low Cost Standards for Glulam Lumber Bridge Design has been added to the Client Links page under “PennDOT.”

Beam Design Links
A few new links have been added to the beam design sections. These include links to AISC’s Bender-Roller Group website which contains lots of info on the bending and rolling of steel shapes, a guideline for economic design of prestressed concrete beam superstructures, and a current list of AASHTO concrete beam shapes and dimensions. All of these links can be found under the “Other Resources” section of the Beam/Girder Design page.

Detailed PennDOT District Map
Lastly, a more detailed PennDOT district map has been added to the Cube Zone section of the website. This new map includes more detailed information about each district as well as contact info for each districts main office.
