Objective:
To present an in-depth review of design, application and construction of flexible and rigid retaining walls systems.
Description:
The goal of this course is to provide participants with state-of-the-practice design tools and construction techniques to expand implementation of safe and cost-effective earth retention technologies. This course addresses the selection, design, construction, and performance of earth retaining structures used for support of earth fills and excavations or cut slopes. The instructor covers factors that affect wall selection. Class discussions will include design procedures and case histories, demonstrating the selection, design, and performance of various earth retaining structures. Detailed information on subsurface investigation, soil and rock property design, parameter selection, lateral earth pressures for wall system design, and load and resistance factor design (LRFD) for retaining walls is provided.
Target Audience:
Consultants; contractors; bridge/ structures, geotechnical, and roadway design engineers; engineering geologists; and consultant review specialists; civil engineers; designers; construction managers; municipal and transportation engineers; owners; management, specification, and contracting specialists; construction engineers involved in design and contracting aspects of retaining structures; other technical personnel interested in the technology of building and analyzing existing retaining wall systems.
Special Features:
You will receive a free copy of the following Design software: SRWALL latest edition for Segmental Retaining Wall Design, and a hard copy of the Design Manual for Segmental Retaining Walls, provided by National Concrete Masonry Association, worth more than $240. An in class demo session will be conducted for this specific software.
