What to Look for In a Geotechnical Report
Guest lecturer Thomas C. Benson, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Leighton Consulting, Inc. unlocks the mystery of geotechnical
investigation reports.
No two sites are identical and no two geotechnical reports are alike. How
do you know what should be in the report for your site? Where do you look
for the critical information you need? Mr. Benson will stretch beyond
bearing capacity and passive pressure. He’ll teach you what red flags to
look for and what follow-up questions should be asked of the project
geotechnical engineer.
Mr. Benson has over 32 years of geotechnical experience on a wide range
of project types including public infrastructure, commercial, industrial, and
land development. He has been the technical lead on numerous
earthworks, shoring, dewatering, seismic, liquefaction, slope stability,
tunneling, rock stabilization and soil improvement studies.

February 2015 Presentation Lessons Learned – North Outfall
Replacement Sewer Tunnel 25 years later Richard Escandon, PG, CEG
Principal Geologist, Kleinfelder, Riverside, California
The North Outfall Replacement Sewer (NORS) tunnel was constructed in the
early 1990’s in the City of Los Angeles as a partial remedy to increase sewer
capacity and decrease pollution caused by overflow into Santa Monica Bay.
The 18-foot diameter, eight-mile-long mainline tunnel and associated
diversion tunnels were excavated in soft-ground conditions using open-face
shield and Earth-Pressure Balance (EPB) tunnel boring machines (TBMs).
Shield tunneling in running ground conditions beneath LAX resulted in
significant ground losses and numerous sinkholes on airport property. EPB
tunneling also resulted in ground losses and damage to surface
improvements due to inappropriate operation of tunneling equipment.
Throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s, open-face shield tunneling was commonly
used for large tunnel projects in the Los Angeles area, including the Los
Angeles Metro subway tunnels. Advances in pressurized TBM technology
over the past 25 years have resulted in the increased use of pressurized TBMs
and decreased use of open-face shields for large tunnel projects in the Los
Angeles area. However, shield TBMs still remain a viable method of
excavation in soft ground conditions if properly designed, operated and
monitored. This presentation reviews the construction history of the NORS
tunnel and some of the lessons learned using both open-face shields and EPB
TBMs.

Civil engineering professor emeritus Donald G. Wells
passed away on May 1, 2014 following an extended
illness. Affectionately known as “Water Wells”, he was a
leader in the environmental and water resources group
within the Civil Engineering Department and was
especially instrumental in enhancing the department’s
laboratory facilities. A graduate of Stanford University, he
joined the faculty in 1970 and retired in 2003.
Wells was actively engaged in student extracurricular
activities, both formal and informal. He served for many
years as the faculty advisor for the Cal Poly Pomona
chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE),
and loved playing volleyball and other impromptu sports
with his students. He set a very high standard for
faculty-student rapport and mentorship, a legacy that
continues to this day. His retirement party in 2003 will
long be remembered for its outpouring of affection from
his former students, many of whom have gone on to very
prestigious positions in industry and government.

By: John Barfoot
On November 17, 2014 the Riverside / San
Bernardino Younger Member Forum helped a
webelo scout troop earn their engineering activity
badge. To receive the badge, the YMF Engineers had
to introduce the scouts to a few basic engineering
concepts that the troop leader provided.
Three items that the YMF group selected were to
teach the cubs scouts what engineering is, explain
the difference between engineering disciplines, and
describe how electricity gets to their home. So we
started the night by teaching the scouts what an
engineer is with a short presentation. In the presentation we told them an engineer is someone who
identifies a problem, designs a solution, and fixes the problem. The presentation went on to
describe what the differences are between the civil, mechanical, chemical and electrical engineers.
Pictures were provided in the presentation to show the different type of work the different
engineers perform. The final topic in the presentation was how electricity goes from a power plant
to a house. We explained that generators spin magnets to generate electricity and went on to
describe the path it takes to reach our homes.
To keep the scouts engaged, they were divided into 3 groups. At the first station, the scouts learned
about geometry by building gum drop and toothpick trusses. They pushed down on two
demonstration pieces (both made from gumdrop and toothpicks) one was a triangle and the other a
square. The scouts saw the square torque while the triangle held its shape, seeing for themselves
why engineers use triangles for short trusses. At the next station, the scouts fired marshmallow with
a catapult made from spoons, tape, and binder clips. This exercise taught the scouts about lever-
arms and how the further back the marshmallow goes on the spoon, the further the marshmallow
flies across the room! For the third and final station, the scouts were taken outside and taught
simple surveying. They learned about property lines
and how they come to be on a map.
The night ended with a few questions about the path
that we took to become engineers and what skills
were important. We emphasized writing, teamwork,
and hard work because they are so important to our
field and some are not obvious like math and science.
By the end of the night, not only did our YMF troop
win the approval of the scouts, but also the approval of
the parents.

As CPP ASCE wrapped up the Fall 2014 quarter, officers have been busy preparing for events in the coming year. Big events coming this quarter include our annual trip to Mammoth, Engineering Week and four of our members plan to attend the Workshop for Student Chapter Leaders in Bellevue, Washington.
CPP ASCE volunteered at the
runDisney Avengers Superhero Half Marathon on Nov. 16. with over 50 members volunteered for almost seven hours it was our most successful event. With their shift starting at 3 a.m., the group of volunteers were in charge of the set-up, maintenance, and clean-up of the water station at mile ten of the race. It was a great experience for our members to get to know each other and all of the volunteers were rewarded with a free Disneyland Park Hopper ticket.
The Hamburger Sale was CPP ASCE’s first fundraising event of the year and sold $3 single hamburgers, $4 doubles and $1 water bottles. With the help of officers, we made a $60 profit. Although the sales were lower than expected, CPP ASCE plans on finding a better location to sell at and increase advertisement for the event for future fundraisers.
The Fourth Annual Civil Day took place on Nov. 14, where over 200 middle school students came to our campus to learn the different aspects of civil and environmental engineering. Students participated in hands-on activities where they created water filters using only cotton balls, paper towels, sand and gravel, and they also created structures from mini marshmallows and toothpicks. During
lunch attendees listened to our speaker, Mark Swanson, talk about his inspiration and journey to becoming a civil engineer. Finally, to cap off the event, participants toured our various civil engineering lab facilities and walked through the environmental fair hosted by Dr. Seema C. Shah-Fairbank, and her environmental engineering class. At the event closing, it was clear to see that students and chaperones enjoyed their time on our campus.
