Flexible & Rigid Retaining Wall Systems Design Workshop (Toronto)

Global Innovative Campus
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced
Teacher/Instructor: Dr. Gamal Abdelaziz, P.Eng, MSc., Ph.D.
Term: 29 Jan - 30 Jan 2009

Course 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
