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 April 12, 13, 19 & 20.
If you are unable to attend any of the sessions a recording will be made available.
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.
|
After Attending This Workshop You Will Be Able To:
|
|
|
Recognize potential applications for retention structures used in civil engineering practice
|
|
|
Select the most technically appropriate and cost-effective type of retaining wall for the application, based on a thorough knowledge of available systems
|
|
|
Examine and select appropriate material properties, soil design parameters, and earth pressure diagrams
|
|
|
Prepare conceptual and basic (i.e., for simple geometry) designs using appropriate design methods, factors of safety, earth pressure diagrams, and field verification methods, and be able to appraise contractor-submitted designs
|
|
|
Demonstrate a clear understanding of retaining wall construction and maintenance design rigid and flexible retaining walls systems
|
|
|
Analyze retaining wall failure and understand reasons behind it
|
|
|
Design simple reinforced slopes using geosynthetics
|
|
|
Have a better understanding of retaining structures in terms of design, applications, development limitations and construction
|
|
|
Be able to compare different retaining systems and make an informed decision based on the technical and economic feasibility of each system
