This seminar will feature geotechnical case histories presented by local geotechnical professionals and contractors involved in the design and delivery of transportation infrastructure projects in New England and nationally. Read More
The use of Numerical Modeling Geotechnical Engineering practice is the process by which we construct a simplified mathematical reality from a more complex physical reality and use numerical methods (or tools) to study the performance of systems ... Read More
The lecture will briefly review several historical U.S. waste fill stability failures and the lessons learned from them. Read More
This seminar presents a step-by-step evaluation of seismic ground motions for design and assessment of geotechnical and structural systems. The evaluation of site-specific ground motions requires an interaction between geology, seismology, geotechnical engineering and structural engineering. Professionals in any of these fields possess some knowledge of the related fields, but, invariably gaps are left in their knowledge. This seminar is aimed at closing those gaps through an intuitive approach. Read More
The instructors combine to present the critical knowledge and skills you need in order to take advantage of the cost effective use of earth retaining structures in rural and urban construction for transportation, energy, commercial and industrial development. From start to finish - from design to construction and general site development - the instructors will lead you through the myriad of different retaining wall systems from which you can choose for your project.
