5 Student GeoChallenge GeoWall, GeoPoster, GeoPrediction and GeoVideo Friday, March 9 12:00pm-4:00pm The GeoPrediction competition asks students to develop an accurate prediction of geotechnical behavior given detailed information regarding subsurface, boundary, and initial conditions, as well as the geotechnical/structural loading. This year, competing teams will estimate the ultimate resistance and the subsequent displacement of two drilled shaft pile at the working load and the ultimate load by static load testing. Students competing in the GeoPoster competition are challenged to present their research on foundations (e.g., shallow, drilled, driven, new types, observed performance) for judging on content and professionalism. The GeoVideo competition includes short videos explaining various geotechnical concepts that could be used in classrooms at various levels (elementary school through college) and by the lay person to understand geotechnical principles. The competing teams have created videos around the theme A Strong Foundation in Geotechnical Engineering. There will be six videos playing during the competition and attendees will vote for the best video. The 2018 GeoPoster competition posters will be on Foundations (e.g., shallow, drilled, driven, new types, observed performance). IFCEE 2018 Cooperating Organizations IFCEE 2018 continues a strong collaborative tradition between many geo-organizations. The outstanding technical program is complimented by an impressive equipment exposition that brings together a broad segment of geo professionals. We invite you to join us in Orlando to share in the great technical content, meet old friends and make new ones across our profession.

9 Tuesday, March 6 7:30am-11:30am Half Day SC 1 Deep Foundation Design and Construction using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) LRFD for Fun and Profit Course Synopsis: This interactive course addresses the practical application of Load Resistance Factor Design principles for driven and drilled deep foundations based on the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Bridge Design and Construction Specifications. The material presented represents good practice for all types of deep foundation projects, both public and private, for all infrastructure projects and industries. This is a half day session. Instructor: Jerry A. DiMaggio PE, D.GE, F.ASCE, Applied Research Associates SC 2 Geoprofessional Business Practices and Ethics Course Synopsis: GBA s Executive Director will be the Master of Ceremonies for an entertaining four-part series focused on Ethics, Contract Review, Delivering the Client Experience, and Case Histories. These are the business fundamentals of professional Geoprofessional consultants and topics that GBA excels in providing its members and the greater community. The key topics of the four parts of this course are: 1) the importance of engagement and culture in business conduct/ethics; 2) how thinking like a client can result in negotiating success; 3) proven methods of delivering an awesome client experience; and 4) unique case histories summarizing the experiences of others and the most valuable lessons learned. Instructor(s): Joel Carson, Executive Director, Geoprofessional Business Association (GBA) 7:30am-4:30am Full Day SC 3 Stability & Stabilization of Natural and Man-Made Slopes with Climate Changes Course Synopsis: This short course will present recent advances on landslide behavior, unsaturated soil mechanics, shear strength, two- and threedimensional slope stability analyses, slope stabilization and analyses, and the impact(s) of climate change on slope stability. These advances are contributing to a better understanding of landslide mechanisms and improved methods of analysis, hazard identification, risk assessment, and stabilization. The short course will focus on landslide triggering, stability analyses, and runout of the slide mass. This short course will first discuss the technical aspects of these topics and then illustrate the use of the technical information with a number of case histories. Instructor(s): Dr. Timothy D. Stark, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Dr. Farshid Vahedifard, Mississippi State University; Dr. Daniel Pradel, Ohio State University 12:30pm-4:30pm Half Day SC 4 Women s Business Skills Workshop (A Partnership between ADSC, DFI, G-I, and PDCA) This workshop will help build professional skills for women in the geotechnical engineering and foundations industry. Topics will include exploring differences in gender communication styles, negotiating skills, the use of mentoring networks, and examples of successful corporate initiatives within the industry that support women. Difference in gender communication will be led by Ms. Nancy Watt, who will illustrate the use of improv techniques to improve communication. Other speakers will provide training on negotiating skills and building a mentoring network: a circle of mentors, sponsors and peers to propel your career. The course will also include presentations highlighting initiatives companies are already taking that can be adopted by other companies. Instructor(s): Mary Ellen Bruce Large, P.E., D.GE, Deep Foundations Institute; Nancy Watt, Second City Comedy Improv Conservatory SC 5 Deep Foundations QA/QC for Engineers, Contractors, and Inspectors Course Synopsis: This course provides an overview of common methods of QA/QC for Deep Foundations, and provides some perspectives on the value of QA/QC from design and construction points-of-view. The course includes a discussion on factors to consider during the design phase of a project, during installation, and post construction as well as a short specifications overview. The course introduces the main methods for performing inspections and testing for driven piles, drilled shafts, and Augercast piles, although many of the methods described also apply to other types of deep foundations. The effect of well-planned and well-executed QA/QC programs on the design and construction of more cost-effective, efficient, and reliable deep foundations will be discussed with experts in the area of deep foundations. Instructor(s): Mohamad Hussein, P.E., GRL Engineers, Inc.; Mike Justason, P.Eng., McMaster University I have attended each IFCEE since its beginnings in 2004 and each one has been invaluable to me. I believe this is the premier event in the geoprofessional and foundation industries. Where else can you have designers, project managers, contractors, academics, and equipment suppliers all in one place like IFCEE? No matter what stage you are in your career or what part of the industry you practice in, IFCEE has what you need to obtaining continuing education, network with peers and clients, and see the latest innovations in equipment and materials.
