The Environmental Research and Education Foundation (EREF) will present a Webinar entitled "Coal Ash Management and Regulations" on Tuesday, 19 February 2013 from 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm (EST). Coal accounts for more than a third of electricity generation in the U.S., resulting in over 130 million short tons of coal combustion residuals (CCR) annually. This makes coal ash one of the largest waste streams in the U.S. This webinar provides a primer on CCRs as well as recommendations for their management and characterization in light of these changes. Speakers: John Daniels and Christopher Hardin. Learn more and register.

The good news for Chileans is that less than 1% of the 10,000 buildings three stories or taller, constructed since Chile’s 1985 earthquake, will have to be demolished as a consequence of the magnitude-8.8 Maule earthquake that struck on Feb. 27. The bad news is that the type of structural damage observed in many of the bearing-wall concrete frames of 12- to 26-story buildings is calling into question the effectiveness of Chile’s building code, which does not require confinement reinforcing steel for concrete members. A code change in the future is likely, say engineers who inspected the damaged areas. Learn more here.;
