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 […]
This webinar presents an infiltration-based approach that can help realize rational and economical deep foundation designs in ephemeral streambeds. Such an approach leads to better use of taxpayer dollars along with environmental benefits such as a reduced carbon footprint and sustainable use of natural resources.
This 2-day workshop will discuss compaction of soils and engineering properties of compacted soils. Using a collaborative and interactive learning approach, this virtual workshop will help learners understand challenges associated with specification and construction of safe and serviceable compacted soil structures that will also help long-term maintenance needs. Learn new concepts of soil compaction that builds upon your prior knowledge and through active participation you will integrate the new knowledge into your understanding. You will also generate new ideas through brainstorming and discussion and develop a better understanding of the practical methods and processes of soil compaction, learn about real-world problems that your peers encounter on projects, and solutions they have implemented, and receive real-time expert feedback. In between the two live sessions, attendees will independently work on an application (e.g., exercises) or a reflection (e.g., reading) assignment.
Using a collaborative and interactive learning approach, this 2-day virtual workshop will help you understand: (a) principles of lateral analysis of deep foundations, and (b) the types and effects of induced ground deformations on deep foundations. The workshop will help you assimilate the crucial considerations regarding these topics through active participation by frequent interactions throughout the workshop and real-time expert feedback. The interactions will facilitate a better understanding of the nuances of the various design procedures for deep foundations which would help you avoid costly design errors in real-world projects. In between the two live sessions, attendees will independently work on an application (e.g., exercises) or a reflection (e.g., reading) assignment.

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).

Drilled shafts are often a technically sound and cost-effective foundation choice where a deep foundation solution is appropriate based on-site conditions, applied loads, and performance requirements. To avoid adverse performance […]
Spread footings are often under-utilized in comparison to the costlier deep foundation systems. This workshop will include discussions about spread footings on soil and rock.
