It presents an overview of civil engineering design platforms (ASD, LFD and LRFD) including benefits and limitations and discussed the concept of safety using deterministic and probabilistic concepts. The contrast of reliability index with safety factor...
read moreThis webinar includes discussion on the terminology and types of fill walls, lateral earth pressure theories for fill walls, permanent and transient surcharge loads, applicable load factors, use of minimum and maximum load factors for permanent loads, identification of limit states and resistance factors, pressure surfaces for geotechnical and structural analysis, and consideration of extreme event limit states such as seismic events. This part of the webinar series...
read moreThis webinar includes discussion on the types of shallow foundations, terminology, pressure distributions from a geotechnical and structural perspective, identification of limit states (sliding, limiting eccentricity, bearing resistance and settlement), interpretation and application..
read moreThis webinar offering concentrates on application of LRFD principles to MSE walls. MSE walls are commonly used as fill walls and are often found to be cost-effective compared to cast-in-place reinforced concrete and other fill type walls for wall heights above 10-12 feet. MSE walls can be designed..
