Lateral Earth Pressure for Non-Geotechnical Engineers on-line e-learning cbt (computer based) Overview This course is intended for a wide range audience and in particular, the non-geotechnical engineer and is not intended as an exhaustive review of the subject. The objective of the course is to discuss the three types of lateral earth pressure (at rest, active and passive) that apply to a wall or bulkhead and describe how each is calculated. The course also describes other types of  more...
Low-Density Concrete Properties on-line e-learning cbt (computer based) Overview The use of low-density concrete provides several advantages with the primary, and most obvious, benefit being a 15 to 25 savings in weight without sacrificing the overall strength of a structure. However, the use of low-density concrete can result in a considerable impact to the structural design and cost of the structure. In this course, the student will review Engineer Circular (EC)  more...
Low-Density Concrete Construction Considerations on-line e-learning cbt (computer based) Overview In general, concrete construction using low-density concrete is quite similar to using normal-density concrete. Constructability considerations related to mixing, placing, curing, pumping, and testing controls must be addressed in order to maximize the quality of concrete and avoid problems during construction. The use of low-density concrete provides several advantages with the  more...
