MEET THE VICE PRESIDENT

Mark Yanik, EIT

My name is Mark Yanik, and I serve as
the 2011-2012 Vice President for the
Richmond Branch of ASCE. I grew up in
Asheville, North Carolina, and in 2008 I
graduated from the academically
renowned, football powerhouse of
Virginia Tech. I am a structural
Engineer-In-Training in Parsons
Brinckerhoffs Richmond, Virginia
office, and I specialize in the design of
bridges and transportation structures. My most exciting project
so far involved the design of the worlds first recycled thermo-
plastic railroad bridge at Fort Eustis, Virginia. In my free time I
enjoy golfing, traveling with my wife, and of course- watching
Virginia Tech football.

My involvement in ASCE began in college, where I served in
numerous officer roles for the student chapter and competed as
part of Virginia Techs student steel bridge team. Upon
graduating from Tech I became involved in the Richmond
Branch, first as the Scholarship Chair and now as the Vice
President. I enjoy the high level of involvement of our local
membership and the wide variety of activities the club offers
each year. I look forward to the start of our new Branch year;
with a strong new set of officers and chairs, it is shaping up to
be our most active yet!

INSTITUTE FOR SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE
Sustainable Infrastructure Rating System
Tuesday, October 25
th
, 12:00-1:00 PM

ASCEs Carol Bowers will be introducing the envision
TM
, the new rating system for sustainable
infrastructure projects. The Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI), a collaboration of engineers
from ASCE, the American Public Works Association (APWA), and the American Consulting
Engineering Council (ACEC), has made the first draft of envision
TM
available for review on their
website (www.sustainableinfrastructure.org). Ms. Bowers will be discussing ASCEs involvement with
ISI and in developing the rating system. She will give an overview of the rating system and discuss
the future schedule for implementation and training.

ISIs mission is to promote and support the planning, design, construction and operation of more
sustainable infrastructure projects and programs. The organization developed a prototype
infrastructure rating tool called envision
TM
to rate the sustainability of an infrastructure project at any
point in its life cycle.

envision
TM
Stages 1 and 2 (version 1) are currently available for public review. Comments are
required by November 2011. Version 2 is anticipated for release and use in project assessments
in early 2012. Additionally, ISI will be providing online and onsite education and training programs
that will lead to certification in the use of the envision
TM
sustainability rating system by professional
practitioners, as well as certification of organizations with a dedicated practice in sustainability.
envision
TM
Stages 1 and 2 will be developed in 2012 and released in 2013.

NOVEMBER MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

Innovative Pavement Techniques
During the 2011 construction season, the Virginia Department of Transportation completed
an in-place pavement recycling project to rehabilitate a 3.66-mile section of pavement on
southbound I-81 in Augusta County near Staunton, between mile marker 217.66 and mile
marker 214. This was the first time in the United States that the three processes of full-
depth reclamation, cold central-plant recycling and cold in-place recycling were
combined for a single pavement rehabilitation project on an interstate highway. During the
presentation, the unique aspects of this project and VDOTs on-going efforts to incorporate
pavement recycling into its business practices will be discussed.

Brian K. Diefenderfer, Ph.D., P.E. is a Senior Research Scientist at the Virginia Center for
Transportation Innovation and Research in Charlottesville (the research division of the
Virginia Department of Transportation) where he has worked for the past 7 years. His
research focuses on providing better tools and techniques for VDOT to use when designing
and rehabilitating pavements. He is currently working on assessing the field performance of
recycled pavement materials and characterizing their stress-strain behavior in the
laboratory. He is a member of several technical organizations, including ASCE, and a
member of the Transportation Research Board technical committees on Full-Scale
Accelerated Pavement Testing and Pavement Rehabilitation. Brian received his bachelors,
masters, and doctoral degrees in Civil Engineering from Virginia Tech and is a licensed
professional engineer in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

What a great start to the 2011-2012 year the past month has been for the
Richmond Branch! Let me first thank everyone who attended our branch
kickoff meeting in September to hear about the NIST investigation into
the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. It was a
record setting meeting for the branch with just under 90 attendees and it
was a great way to start off the year. We are sincerely grateful for
everyone who attended the event. In addition, some of the Richmond
Branch officers attended the annual ASCE Virginia Section Banquet in
Williamsburg during the Virginia Engineers Conference where the Branch
received three awards for events done in the past year! We are very
thankful to have been recognized by the Virginia Section for the work of our committee
chairs and the involvement of our membership.

As exciting as September was, October is already promising to be just as remarkable with
two very unique branch events happening during the month. The first is our annual golf
tournament at Providence Golf Course on October 6th. Many probably do not realize but
our golf tournament is unique in that we have chosen to allocate 100% of the tournament
proceeds to the benefit of student outreach at both the precollege and college levels.
This one event funds our outreach committee entirely and includes things like: an annual
scholarship at the University of Virginias School of Engineering, support for the UVA ASCE
Student Chapter, our annual Engineers Week Popsicle Bridge Contest for middle and high
school students, and many other educational outreach events around the Richmond area.
Never has the time been more important to ensure that our best and brightest students will
consider civil engineering as their chosen profession and your support of this event will help
make that happen. Please give yourself an afternoon away from the office and join me and
the rest of the ASCE board at Providence Golf Course on October 6
th
for this very worthwhile
event!

The second event happening in October is another exciting topic for our monthly branch
meeting that has implications for all of us in the Civil Engineering community. The topic
will be the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure and the Envision
TM
rating system for
sustainable projects that is currently under development. This revolutionary new program,
developed by a contingent of industry leaders from ASCE, ACEC, and APWA, will allow non-
building civil engineering projects to have their own benchmark for sustainable design
separate from those established by LEED (which are oriented to buildings only). This rating
tool has huge potential to be a major factor in the future of our profession, and I hope you
will join us on October 25
th
for this unique opportunity to get a first look at the program
from one of the engineers who helped develop it.

Because of the support and involvement of our members, this year is off to a great start and
I hope that you will consider attending each of these upcoming events and keep the
momentum going. As always, if there is anything that you feel the Richmond Branch could
be doing or any suggestions for how to improve what we are currently doing, please dont
hesitate to let me know!

RJEC NEWS

Membership Welcome Reception
On September 8, the Richmond Joint Engineers Council (RJEC) hosted its Membership
Welcome Reception. At the meeting, everyone was informed of the benefits of being a
member of RJEC. These benefits include participation in Engineers Week, access to a
network of engineers from all disciplines to co-host events or help generate ideas, and a
speakers panel to help reach to students in the local area about engineering, as well as a
multitude of others.

All of the members of RJEC, including ASCE, were given a chance to introduce their
organization to the group. President Mike Howell and President-Elect Amy Bird attended the
meeting, and Amy presented on behalf of ASCE. The Richmond Branch of ASCEs current

ASCE Richmond Branch - August Newsletter Page 7
membership size and usual yearly activities were presented to the group. Some of the
events discussed were Engineers Week where approximately 150 middle and high school
students participated by building bridges for ASCEs Popsicle Stick Bridge Contest,
professional monthly meetings, involvement with the local and state government regarding
the ASCE Infrastructure Report Card, and an active Younger Member Group with social
events such as the Post PE Happy Hour.

As a result of attending this meeting, ASCE was able to interest a few engineers outside of
the civil engineering disciple to attend our September 20th 9/11 monthly meeting and to
meet a few organizations who are interested in hosting events with ASCE in the future.

The Richmond Joint Engineers Council is an all-volunteer coalition of engineering, scientific
and technical societies in the Richmond / Petersburg Metropolitan Areas of Virginia. This
organization exists to promote engineering awareness in the local area by hosting education
activities for students, being instrumental in local Engineers Week contests and banquet,
and many other various events throughout the year. For more information on RJEC, please

VIRGINIA SECTION NEWS

Richmond Branch Recognized for Achievements
The ASCE Virginia Section held their annual Awards Banquet in Williamsburg during the
Virginia Engineers Conference. The Section recognized the Richmond Branch for going
Above and Beyond the Committee in three categories. Thanks to our committee chairs
and volunteers for their exemplary performance!

Award: 16
th
Annual Engineers Week Popsicle Bridge Contest
Science Museum of Virginia, February 20, 2011,
Education Committee leaders: Mike Howell (Chair), Mark Yanik, Amy Bird, and Mike Hall

Brief Description of Event: This past February marked
the largest attendance in the 16 years that the event
has taken place with over 150 students from over 30
different schools participating in the event. Students
constructed bridges comprised purely of Popsicle sticks
and Elmers glue to span 2-0. On the day of the
event, students brought their bridges in for testing.
Students not only competed against the other bridges
from their age groups, they also competed against a
bridge designed and built by a team of ASCE members!
Prizes were awarded to the top student teams, as well
as to the most innovative and aesthetically pleasing
bridges.

Government Relations Committee leaders: Austin Clark (Chair), Amanda Harmon, Bryan
Stevenson

Brief Description of Event: The ASCE Virginia Section, Richmond Branc,h and the Virginia Geo-
Institute Chapter held our 3rd Annual Meet and Greet with the General Assembly on January 20,
2011 at the Jefferson Hotel. The event was well attended due in part to the merging of the
event with the Geo-Institute who also hosted a dinner on that same evening. Approximately 60
people attended the dinner while over 90 were at the social. This year thirteen Delegates,
Senators, or their representatives attended our event, making it the most well attended event
by the General Assembly so far. The ultimate goal was to promote long term transportation
funding and dam safety regulation. There are several bills related to each topic in the General
Assembly this session.

Award: Richmond Branch Newsletter
Email and Website, Monthly
Communications Committee leaders: Denise Nelson (Chair), Mike Howell

Brief Description of Performance: The importance of a strong branch newsletter cannot be
understated. Our monthly meetings or branch events may reach a certain number of our
membership, but our newsletter reaches every single member every time that it is published.
With that idea in mind, the Richmond Branch decided it was of critical importance that we
invest our time in improving our newsletter this year. We decided that the newsletter should do
three things: inform, educate, and to a small degree entertain. We established guidelines for
vendor advertisements, procedures for soliciting project profiles from companies, and a more
defined outline for each newsletter.

NATIONAL NEWS

The Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure and envision
TM


The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the American Public Works Association
(APWA) and the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) collaborated to form
the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI). ISI is developing and implementing a web-
based sustainable infrastructure project rating system. The overall goal of the system, and
related training, is to enhance the sustainability of the nations civil infrastructure,
excluding occupied buildings.

The system will offer prospective considerations to practitioners, owners and regulators on
the development of civil infrastructure projects that will deliver greater sustainability
benefits. Further, the system will enable owners, agencies, operators, designers and
constructors to compare alternatives and evaluate the sustainability of civil infrastructure at
any point throughout its life cycle, in a manner that is understandable, easy to use and
affordable.

ASCE Richmond Branch - August Newsletter Page 9

The recognition that greater degrees of sustainability are possible, critical, and a necessary
element of civil infrastructure is broadly acknowledged throughout the three organizations.
The purpose of a project rating system is twofold. First, the rating system will guide
decisions makers through performance standards, and management practices that will focus
on sustainable project delivery and a sustainable project. Second, and perhaps more
importantly, the project rating system will also assist the decision maker with project
selection so that the project itself is doing the right thing (right solution for that
community).

The new system is intended to be:
performance-based (outcomes) rather than prescriptive
scalable for size and complexity of projects
adaptable for specific needs and circumstances
provide for self-assessment, as well as independent verification
voluntary

The system can be used formally or informally. It can be self-administered and used
internally without external interaction. As part of a sensitivity analysis it can be used to
compare different approaches, assessing varying degrees of the social, economic, and
environmental indicators of the triple bottom line. Through its institutionalized use, the
system will promote a more dynamic project delivery approach where the practitioner,
agency and owner can consider alternatives to achieving higher degrees of sustainability.
The system is envisioned to directly compliment, streamline and facilitate rather than
burden the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulatory approval process.

As another feature of the system, the sustainable infrastructure project rating system can
support public recognition, specifically through an awards program. In order to ensure a
balanced and objective evaluation of sustainability success, a publically recognized award
program is envisioned to be based on independently verified performance assessments.

The system is made up of 4 stages. Version 1 of Stage 1 (self-assessment) and Stage 2 (full
assessment) are currently available for review at the ISI website
(www.sustainableinfrastructure.com). Stages 3 and 4 are anticipated for release in 2013.
To complete this program, the partners will also be offering sustainability training and
developing a certification program in an effort to further promote sustainable design and
practice. Version 2 of Stages 1 and 2, user certification, and project accreditation will be
available in early 2012.
