Upcoming Events

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).

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.

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 […]
