Analysis & Design Of Geotechnical Structures

Memo

This workshop will focus on the analysis and design of advanced geotechnical infrastructure systems including shallow and deep foundations, slopes & embankments, deep excavations, retaining structures, and shoring systems. Most engineers with responsibility for geotechnical and structure systems need a working understanding of basic concepts to gain confidence in dealing with a variety geotechnical related problems that they encounter on engineering projects. This workshop is designed so that participants can better understand geotechnical engineering and learn from experts in this field on how to design a safe and sustainable geotechnical system in various site and loading conditions. All key concepts and guidelines will be explained and emphasis will be placed on the practical application of the information provided.

All key concepts and guidelines will be explained and emphasis will be placed on the practical application of the information provided. This course would be beneficial to all engineering practitioners and especially to those involved in the design, approval and maintenance of geotechnical engineering projects and any other structural and construction systems, such as: civil, municipal, environmental and construction engineers, consulting engineers, plans review personnel in municipalities, public works professionals, plant engineers, who are involved with building and construction works, technicians and specialists, geologists and earth scientists, civil engineers who want to understand foundations or any other load carrying soil-structure systems. The course will be of value both for those who are new to geotechnical engineering as well as to those who have experience with geotechnics.
