Education @ Your Desk. A Live Webinar Class means that you will attend the class via the web using your computer. There are scheduled breaks for coffee and lunch. You use a microphone, headset, or your phone and are able to interact with the instructor and other students while following notes while watching the presentation slides online just as you would in a live classroom. Notes are posted online. For an extra cost a hard copy can be requested.
The virtual classroom is becoming more and more popular, and we have a lot of experience teaching in this format. The only real difference between a live in-class and live via webinar is where you sit and what you look at. You can learn from the comfort of your own home or office. You pay less for the live webinar format than you would for the in-class format, and you do not have to travel to another city to attend the class. Please contact us at [email protected] for Special Group & Corporate Rates for one or more participants.

Daily Schedule: 12:00pm MST - Session begins 3:00pm MST - Adjournment This course is divided into four sessions. Each session will be 3 hours in duration. The sessions will be held on September 15, 16, 22 & 23. If you are unable to attend any of the sessions a recording will be made available. Description- Characterization of natural deposits, subsurface investigation, field measurements.
- Design procedures for settlement and stability of shallow and deep foundation systems in soil and rock.
- Design of excavations and retaining structures; slopes and embankments.
- Seepage through dams and landfills and the control of seepage through the use of filters and low permeability layers including the use of geosynthetic liners and filters.
Objective
The main objective of this workshop is to apply the principles of Soil Mechanics to the design and analyses of geotechnical structures and enable participants to select the best foundation solution for different types of civil engineering problems. After completing the course, participants should be able to design deep and shallow foundations and supervise their construction. The course philosophy is to provide the participants with the information they need to design foundations. The information is supplied in a simple and systematic way, discussing topics where current knowledge is lacking, and more understanding is needed. With the instructor’s long experience in design, construction and teaching of the foundation engineering topics, you will get the maximum benefits you are looking for.
Target Audience
Consultant, structural, civil engineers, college and university faculty, public works and construction department employees of federal, provincial and municipal governments; engineers responsible for large industrial, commercial or institutional facilities who must deal with different types of foundations. The course will be of interest to a wide range of practicing civil engineers at different stages in their careers. Some familiarization with soil mechanics is desirable but the knowledge is not required at a specialist level. The course will be most beneficial to geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, foundation designers, project engineers, and highway/bridge engineers who are involved in the design and construction of foundations. After you attend this course/workshop, you will be able to: - Design of Shallow and deep Foundations
- Settlement analyses for shallow and deep foundations
- Improvement techniques for foundation soils
- The definition of capacity of deep foundations
- Methods of calculating the axial capacity of driven piles
- Pile/shaft group behavior
- How to select a sound foundation system
The two-day course will consist of a series of lectures and workshops. Worked examples with numerical reference will reinforce the lectures. Case studies which illustrate the full range of problems are a feature of the course. There will be workshops on bearing capacity, shallow foundation, and settlement analysis.
Material(s) Required Standard Engineering calculator and laptop for in class software demo
