Upcoming Chapter Meetings and Events
CSI
New Jersey Chapter Meeting at Princeton University Our February 18th program was "The
Lake Champlain Crown Point Bridge"; designed and presented by noted
Structural Engineer, Ted Zoli, VP and Technical Director (Bridges) for
HNTB Corporation. It was held at Princeton University's
"Prospect House We offered this presentation in the Princeton vicinity with the hope of renewed interest and participation among the members of the Princeton Chapter. As an EXTRA BONUS, for the remainder of 2010, the NJ Chapter of CSI will offer current and past members of the CSI Princeton Chapter active participation in the NJ Chapter at no change in cost from the dues you have already paid or would expect to pay for the current years' membership in the CSI Princeton Chapter. As peers in a great national organization, we would rather see you participate in available programs and events then miss out on the educational value and camaraderie we and CSI have to offer. The NJ Chapter frequently conducts joint programs with AIA Central Chapter, AIA Jersey Shore, The Architects League of Northern NJ, AIA Newark Suburban, Tri-State Chapter of the NJ Design-Build Institute of America, and other related professions and industries at locations throughout central New Jersey, from Morristown to Red Bank and Newark to the Princeton area. We also have instituted an Emerging Professionals Committee; tasked with attracting those recently entering into the construction-related fields to get involved with CSI. If you know an individual that fits this description, pass this invitation on.
Ted Zoli was profiled on NBC Nightly
News. He was recognized last year as a MacArthur Fellow for his
work on designing and hardening bridges. Several of his HNTB-related
projects also were mentioned, including the Mary Avenue Bicycle
Footbridge in Cupertino, Calif.; the Blennerhassett Island Bridge in
West Virginia; and the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge in Omaha, Neb.

Office and Construction Projects Technology progresses at an ever-rapid pace… and it’s leaving the construction industry in the dust!!! As a community we need to change the way we do business, and going paperless is a major step in the right direction. Cianbro experimented with managing a $250M+ mall expansion electronically and our experiment soon became a way of life. By embracing a web-based electronic software, by committing to 3-D design, by demanding that the trades, the consultants, and the Owner participate as a condition of employment, and by never shutting our minds to new ideas, we did it! We are excited about sharing our experience with CSI so that you can make a difference in how the construction industry specifies future projects. It takes 28 days to learn a new habit or break an old one, are you ready? Brian W. Watson graduated Phi Eta Sigma from the University of Florida with a BS in Building Construction. He's also a member of Heavy Movable Structures Inc. Brian joined the Cianbro Corporation right out of college in 1982. He has more than 25 years experience in the construction industry.

Biography
– Ted Zoli is a structural engineer and the Vice President and
Technical Director (Bridges) of HNTB Corporation, a leading
infrastructure design firm. Using novel materials, Zoli works to
construct bridges that are both visually stunning and able to withstand
strong vibrations from wind and pedestrians. He has drawn on military
research on weapons technology to create state-of-the-art materials that
are both lightweight and blast-resistant. The elegant and colossal
Missouri River Pedestrian Bridge is one recent example of his work. In
2009 Zoli became the first structural engineer to receive a MacArthur
genius grant. Says the MacArthur Foundation: "In an era of aging
infrastructure and catastrophic structural collapses, Zoli is
safeguarding vulnerable links in the nation's highway system and
developing design principles for the construction of robust, new
landmarks in the United States and across the globe." Ted is also a
professor at Princeton University in CEE for the past 6 years, and is
generally considered to be the best bridge designer in the country. Ted
is also designer for the new Streicker pedestrian bridge that spans
Washington Road connecting the Ellipse walk near the Carl Icahn lab to a
new plaza constructed as part of The New Chemistry Building, south of
Jadwin Hall. The bridge is a key feature within the University's planned
"science neighborhood" linking the science community across
busy Washington Road
