LRFD for Deep Foundations – Lateral Analysis

Location: Online
Date: May 7, 2012
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

This webinar offering concentrates on lateral analysis of deep foundations. Deep foundations are often used for structures which experience large lateral loads for which shallow foundations are not feasible due to large overturning moments and resultant load eccentricities. The LRFD platform offers a rational framework for performing lateral analysis of deep foundations. The webinar will be primarily based on the 5th Edition(2010) of LRFD Bridge Design Specifications Developed by the American Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Applicable articles in Sections 3, 5, 6, 19 and 11 of AASHTO LRFD Specifications will be used as a basis of discussion. The webinar material will be applicable to different types of deep foundations such as driven piles, drilled shafts, and micropiles.
