TRB Workshop at the Highway Geology Symposium*

HGS is sponsoring the 71^st Highway Geology Symposium on May 23-25, 2022 in Asheville, NC. TRB will cosponsor a workshop titled “Improving Resiliency through Geotechnical Asset and Performance Management Approaches” in conjunction with the Symposium on May 23, 2022.

Our transportation infrastructure has been repeatedly tested by an increase in extreme weather events. Improving resiliency at project and system level against these events will prevent harm and speed recovery and response efforts. Geotechnical Asset Management (GAM) efforts provide important insights to system vulnerabilities and performance and help target resiliency improvements using a risk-based approach and other methods. This half-day workshop at Highway Geology Symposium will highlight how application of GAM approaches will speed up efforts to reduce impact from increasing event severity and frequency.
