Online Workshop: Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls – Limit State Based Design Principles

Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls are used extensively for grade-separation fill structures in many applications, e.g., highways, railways, marine, commercial, etc. To avoid adverse performance issues, design processes for an MSE wall must be tailored to specific geometry and the environment (conditions) expected over its specified lifetime. This workshop is geared towards development of a […]

Online Workshop: Soil Nail Walls – Design and Construction

Online

This workshop on soil nail walls will help gain a better understanding of the design and construction procedures using concepts of limit states that will be indexed to the latest guidelines based on the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methodology of the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHTO) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

Online Workshop: Drilled Shafts in Soil and Rock – Geotechnical Design Aspects

Drilled shaft foundations in soils and rocks are often a technically sound and cost-effective choice where a deep foundation solution is appropriate based on site conditions, applied loads, project schedule, and performance requirements. When soils are of relatively poor quality and the structure loads are relatively large the shafts are often drilled through the poor […]

Online Workshop on Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls – Understanding Fill Properties and Good Practices for Details

Online

Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls are used extensively for grade-separation fill structures in many applications, e.g., highways, railways, marine, commercial, etc. To avoid adverse performance issues, and to ensure safe and serviceable MSE walls, the fills and component details must be tailored to specific geometry and the environment (conditions) expected over its specified lifetime.
