Program: New Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Tacoma, Washington
Speaker: Gerard Buechel P.E.
President of Shannon & Wilson, Inc.
The 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge, also known as the Galloping Gertie, collapsed into the Puget Sound just four months after opening.
The bridge was redesigned and reconstructed 10 years later. In 2002, a new bridge was built parallel to the reconstructed bridge. Mr.
Buechel and his team at Shannon & Wilson were responsible for the geotechnical and earthquake engineering studies for preliminary
and final design of the new bridge and approach structures. This presentation summarizes the geotechnical challenges of the project
from difficult subsurface support towers and anchorages.

MARCH DINNER MEETING

JOINT ASCE & SEAOH MARCH DINNER MEETING NOTICE
Program: "Hybrid Masonry Seismic Structural Systems"
by David T. Biggs, PE, Distinguished Member ASCE,
Principal, Biggs Consulting Engineering, Troy, New York.
Mr. Biggs is the originator of a lateral-load resisting system called hybrid masonry. Conceived for low seismic applications,
hybrid masonry utilizes reinforced concrete masonry infill panels to brace a conventional steel frame. In 2009, an NSFNetwork
for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) sponsored research project was initiated to study the system
performance in high seismic applications. The system development has received industry support from both AISC and
the masonry industry. The research is being led by Prof. Dan Abrams of the University of Illinois. Prof. Ian Robertson is
leading a significant research effort at the University of Hawaii, and analytical work is being performed at Rice University.
Mr. Biggs will provide an introduction to the system as both a designer of existing systems and as a leading member of
the research team.
