Upcoming Events

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.

This presentation will be made for the Arizona Chapter of American Public Works Association (APWA) at its May 2022 monthly meeting. The presentation will introduce three recent developments in geotechnical engineering that provide significant value to transportation infrastructure projects. These include: (1) Infiltration evaluation for deep foundations in ephemeral streams (2) Evaluation of subgrade stresses […]
