Learning Outcomes and Benefits for Participants
Though case histories and project examples, participants will learn about recent advancements in retaining structure construction, including advanced instrumentation and monitoring techniques and construction methods to minimize the impacts of construction on existing structures and the surrounding environment.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Apply state-of-practice of several facets of earth retaining structures, including:
- Appropriate underpinning methods to extend foundations
- New underpinning techniques to improve workers safety
- Deep excavations on soft cohesive soils
- Assess excavation support systems and building monitoring data during construction, and potential mitigation strategies to ensure successful project delivery.
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Achievement of the learning objectives will be assessed through a short post-test.
Who Should Attend
The session content will focus on recent and innovative aspects of earth retaining structures and should interest structural engineers, geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, construction professionals and geologists.
