SUMMARY:Soil Nail Walls - Design and Construction: Day 2
DESCRIPTION:Soil nailing technology is very versatile and has been widely used worldwide over the last 3 decades for temporary and permanent excavation support. The design and performance of soil nail walls is intricately linked with its construction procedures.  To avoid adverse performance issues\, design and construction processes for a soil nail wall must be tailored to specific geometry and the environment (conditions) expected over its specified lifetime. This workshop 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). Contrast between LRFD and the Allowable stress design (ASD) methodologies will also be included. Design and construction (including field testing) aspects of Solid Bar Soil Nails (SBSNs) and Hollow Bar Soil Nails (HBSNs) will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls – Limit State Based Design Principles [Day 2]
DESCRIPTION: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 better understanding of design procedures using principles of limit states to ensure safe and serviceable MSE wall structures over specified lifetimes. More specifically\, this workshop is based on the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methodology that is a North American version of the broader Limit State Design (LSD) approach. The design principles will be explained using wall geometries with level and sloped backfill configurations. The topic of complex geometries will be introduced. The presentation ends with a brief introduction to the design philosophy for the new MSE-LASR technology that permits consideration of Local Available Sustainable Resources (LASR)\, i.e.\, non-select or marginal fills. \nPolicies and System Requirements for Viewing this Course \nINSTRUCTOR:\nNaresh Samtani\, PH.D.\, P.E.\, D.GE\, F.ASCE \nREGISTER:\nClick here to register for this online event
