AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS - HAWAII SECTION2005 OUTSTANDING CIVIL ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Two projects were selected as co-awardees for the 2005 ASCE Hawaii Section Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement (OCEA) Award. The win-ning projects are the Air Force MILCON Program to Repair Airfield Pavement, Wharf and Facilities at Wake Island and the Kalanianaole HighwayEmergency Landslide Repairs at Castle Junction, Kailua, Hawaii.

Air Force MILCON Program to Repair AirfieldPavement, Wharf and Facilities at Wake Island

The U.S. Air Force needed to repair the main runway pavement, wharf,marine bulkhead, and causeway at Wake Island. Wake Island is a mili-tary airfield located approximately 2,300 miles west of Hawaii in thePacific Ocean and serves as a strategic military aircraft fuel stop and tar-get missile-launching platform for the U.S. Air Force anti-missile testingprogram. The island is 2.5 square miles and was formed as an atoll bythe coral built up on an inactive underwater volcano.

Pavement design was completed in accordance with the UnifiedFacility Criteria and pavement design software programs were developedby the Waterways Experiment Station. Use of recycled materials for theairfield repair was of particular interest because of the remote location.Recycled asphalt was used in the structural backfill of the pavement sec-tion to reduce the amount of new material imported to the island.

This work required new sheet piles, new whalers, tieback rods, cathod-ic protection, relocation of a building, and environmental abatement.

The new runway pavement allows the airfield to accept a normal flowof military air traffic, including the critical refueling of fighter planes andaccommodating emergency landings for any other flights in the mid-Pacific. The renovated wharf allows for easier loading and unloading ofcritical supplies to the island. The project’s improvements support of theisland’s military readiness mission that is critical in strengthening and sta-bilizing U.S. national security.

This Military Construction (MILCON) program, designed for the AirForce by Earth Tech, Inc., included removal, repaving, and restriping ofthe runway; repair of taxiways, the main apron, and associated buildings;and improvements to the wharf, marine bulkhead, and causeways.

Kalanianaole Highway Emergency LandslideRepairs at Castle Junction, Kailua, Hawaii

The Hawaii Department of Transportation needed to remediate therocky hillside along Kalanianaole Highway at Castle Junction due to safe-ty concerns resulting from the increasing occurrence of rockfalls andlandslides. To the Kailua community, access to Kalanianaole Highway atCastle Junction is crucial to their daily activities, for it provides a vital linkto and from their neighborhoods. In the fall of 2003, following a period ofheavy rainfall, several rockfalls and landslides occurred in the area, cre-ating safety concerns for motorists as rocks and soil tumbled down thehillside and came to rest on the roadway. This particular location wasidentified as one of the most hazard-prone areas on the island based ongeologic investigations. This prompted State officials to fast-track ameans to tame the seemingly vertical hillside.

In consideration to the community’s desire to maintain its natural sur-roundings, implementing an innovative design which enhanced the exist-ing features while eliminating the hazard was essential. The project need-ed to be cost-effective and provide a long term solution to the slope sta-bility problem along this stretch of Kalanianaole Highway. The removal ofapproximately 240,000 cubic yards of soil and rock resulted in a stabi-lized hillside, restored safety for motorists, and enhanced the naturalbeauty of the area.

Completed under budget and ahead of schedule, transformation of theonce menacing rockfall site to a gently sloping, grassy hillside provideda long-term aesthetically pleasing solution and alleviated the potential forrockfall and landslides, while opening up views of the Koolau Mountains.The project was designed for Hawaii Department of Transportation byParsons Brinkerhoff Quade & Douglas, Inc.

ConcreteAchievementAwards

This project is made up of a six-story luxury timeshare building whichhouses 103 units of 2-bedroom/2 baths. Directly beneath the units are theparking basement, service and limited guest recreational amenities. Dueto the direct oceanfront exposure, the concrete structure provides the bestlong-term performance for environmental marine/storm conditions. Theglazed concrete tile roof was a cost efficient choice to provide an extendedroof life, for lower, long-term maintenance costs.

HAWAII SECTION IN DISTRICT “D”Under the new ASME, the Hawaii Section

becomes a part of the new District “D.” Underthe reorganization, the old Regions VIII and IXhave combined into District “D.” This new dis-trict contains the states of Alaska, California,Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon andWashington, and the Canadian Provinces ofBritish Columbia, Alberta and the Yukon andNorthwest Territories. Our old Region IX includ-ed only the states of California, Hawaii, andsouthern Nevada. District “D” includes a totalof 30 sections. There has been no change inthe boundaries and mission of the sections andstudent sections.

Lynden Davis has been selected as ASMEDistrict “D” Leader for the 2006 program year.He will be followed by William Robbins, a for-mer Region VIII VP Elect, for the 2007 and 2008program years.

Section allocation has been reduced 75% oflast years. Allocations may be reduced infuture years. Sections are required to worksmarter by keeping their expenses down, whilealso being “entrepreneurial” in raising fundslocally.

The Western Regional Office was closed andsections will have to contact ASME headquar-ters in New York and New Jersey for support.Lynden Davis reminds us “the winds of changeare blowing hard and we all need to adapt tothe new ASME environment.”

ENGINEERS WEEK NEW FACESCAMPAIGN

Dr. Cao comes to Hawaii from theRensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Departmentof Materials Science & Engineering where hewas a Post-doctoral researcher. His researchinterests include:1. Rational synthesis of one-dimensional

nanoscale structures (e.g. carbon nan-otubes, nanowires, and their heterojunc-tions) with controlled diameter, orientation,and distribution; Growth of verticallyaligned carbon nanotube films; Large-scaleproduction of multi-walled and single-walled nanotubes through continuouschemical vapor deposition.

2. Assembly of nanomaterials into meso-scaleorganized three-dimensional architectures;Directed growth of nanotubes along prede-fined path for electrical and thermal inter-connects.

3. Characterization of mechanical, thermal,electrical, and optical properties of alignedcarbon nanotubes.

4. Applications of carbon nanomaterials inareas including electromechanical andoptoelectronic devices, mechanical rein-forcement and damping, thermal manage-ment, chemical adsorption and filtering,environmental and biological applications.

Dr. Cao received his Ph.D. in MechanicalEngineering in 2002 from Tsinghua University,P.R. of China. He received a National Annual100 Outstanding Ph.D. Thesis of China award.

Speaker: Anthony Chang, Chinese Chamberof Commerce .

Subject: “The Little Chinatown That Could”.Tony Chang told us a bit about himself and hiscareer, which included time in the StateLegislature, attorney and a featured writer forOceanic Cable Leisure around town as well asleading a walking tour through China Town.Tony explained that he uses his ‘Lungtou’ caneto shepherd his China Town tours. Tony, afourth generation Chinese, talked aboutHonolulu’s long history of Chinese heritagestarting from just a few years after CaptainCook’s discovery of the Sandwich Islands.Initially, Chinese immigration was by skilledand educated Chinese and was followed laterby Chinese laborers. Hawaiian culture allowedfor many mixed marriages, so many of Hawaii’sChinese families have old Hawaiian ties. Tony’stalk can be heard at the EAH web site.

September 30th, 2005Speaker: Sunny Massad, Ph.D., President

and Founder of the Hawaii Wellness InstituteSubject: “Techniques for Dealing with

Techno-Stress” Dr. Massad gave us some very practical

advice on how to reduce your levels of Techno-Stress. In today’s world we have many laborsaving devises, which have significantlyreduced our physical labors, but the complexi-ty of our lives has increase by several magni-tudes. She explained how the left and righthalves of our brains work. The right half pro-

cessing our emotions and creativity, while theleft half deals with the technical side of things.She believes that in our hi-tech world today, theleft half our brains are working overtime, whilethe right side is being used less and less. Partof the trick in reducing our stress levels is to getthe right side of our brains working again. Thisis particularly important when you are trying toget to sleep and you have to get the left half toturn itself off. This can be difficult, because theleft half of the brain is like a drug addict; itcraves more and more techno information. Shesuggested watching TV until one falls asleepdoes not necessarily help, because the TV isactually keeping the left half of the brain active.The sound recording of this meeting will beposted to EAH’s WEB site.

INTERSTATE ROUTE H-1 ZIPPER LANEEXTENSION

This project, nominated for the 2005 OCEAAward, provided a 3-mile extension of the exist-ing contraflow (“zipper”) lane on the InterstateH-1 to the existing Nimitz Highway contraflowlane. This resulted in a continuous 15-mileexpress route from Central and Leeward Oahuto downtown Honolulu for the benefit of thou-sands of morning carpoolers and bus riders.Using moveable barrier technology to reconfig-ure existing lanes allows for much more effi-cient use of existing facilities and accomplish-es the two paramount goals of the project – toencourage ride sharing and to reduce overallcongestion. The project also included con-struction of a new entrance into the zipper lane,allowing Pearl City and Aiea commuters to alsoaccess the high-occupancy vehicle lane. Theproject was designed for Hawaii Department ofTransportation by Parsons Brinkerhoff Quade &Douglas, Inc.
