Flexible & Rigid Retaining Wall Systems Design Workshop (1.2 CEUs) 2013

  • 28-29 Nov 2013
  • Best Western Village Park Inn, Calgary, Canada

Description

The Flexible & Rigid Retaining Wall Systems Design Workshop covers topics such as: in-depth review of application, design and construction of flexible and rigid retaining walls systems including:

  • Compaction
  • Engineering properties of soils, and soil classification
  • Consolidation
  • Stress analysis
  • Soil behavior, fine grained soil versus coarse grained soils
  • Shear strength of soils
  • Lateral Earth Pressure
  • The effective stress concept
  • Design theories for lateral earth pressures
  • Active and passive earth pressures
  • Mechanically Stabilized Earth
  • Special types of lateral earth pressures: lateral earth pressures due to earthquakes, pressures in silos, elevators and bunkers- frost action load
  • Soil reinforcement
  • Retaining Walls
  • Metal strips
  • Considerations in soil reinforcement
  • Geogrids
  • Nonbiodegradable fabrics
  • Retaining walls with metallic strip reinforcement
  • General design considerations
  • Step by step design procedure using metallic strip reinforcement

The Flexible & Rigid Retaining Wall Systems Design Workshop brings together contractors, Consultants, engineering geologists, bridge/structures, geotechnical, and roadway design engineers, civil engineers, and consultant review specialists, construction managers, designers, owners, municipal and transportation engineers, construction engineers involved in design and contracting aspects of retaining structures, management, specification, and contracting specialists, other technical personnel interested in the technology of building and analyzing existing retaining wall systems.
