3-Day Seminar on Earth Retaining Structures

   Date & Time:
   Wed, 05/29/2013 - 8:30am - Fri, 05/31/2013 - 11:00am

Location:
E.L. Robinson Engineering, 1801 Watermark Drive, Suite 310 Columbus, Ohio

E.L. Robinson is presenting a three day seminar on Earth Retaining
Structures in Columbus, Ohio, on May 29-31, 2013. The seminar will be
presented by Mr. Jerry DiMaggio and Dr. Jamal Nusairat. The goal of this
course is to provide agencies 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 fills and excavations or cut slopes. Instructors cover factors
that affect wall selection, including contracting approaches with an
emphasis on required bidding documents for each approach. 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 are
provided.

Outcomes:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

   - Describe potential applications for Earth Retaining Structures (ERS)
   - Select a technically appropriate and cost-effective ERS
   - Select appropriate material properties, soil design parameters, and
   earth pressure diagrams
   - Perform design analysis and prepare conceptual designs
   - Review contractor submitted documents
   - Discuss contracting methods
   - Describe construction and inspection activities for ERS
