A Strategic Plan for Transportation Resilience
Monday, December 9, 2024 | 2:00 - 3:00 pm ET | Online
With Departments of Transportation placing greater emphasis on asset management, an increased focus on resilience strategies has emerged that the FHWA Geotechnical Program is trying to address. The presentation will focus on aligning research and program efforts for characterization of geotechnical assets and hazards and the potential impact of external stressors with broad legislative efforts to improve system performance.
