Lateral Earth Pressure for Non-Geotechnical Engineers Author: Richard Weber This course is intended for a diverse audience, and, in particular, the non-geotechnical engineer. It is, therefore, not intended to be an exhaustive review of the subject. This course discusses the three types of lateral earth pressure (at rest, active... Learn More

Rock Engineering Rock engineering has evolved over the past few decades as engineers began treating rock as a continuum material so that matured elastic theory could be applied. Later development involved treating rock mass as both continuum and discrete materials to reflect real rock mass that ranges from an... Learn More

Repair of Rigid Pavements Using Epoxy Resin Grouts, Mortars and Concretes This course provides for the design and improvement of the structural quality and workability of soils used for base courses, subbase courses, select materials, and subgrades for pavements construction. The training materials include analysis of materials, criteria, and... Learn More

Geotextiles in Pavement, Drainage, & Embankment Applications This course provides a detailed discussion of the use of geotextiles used in pavement, drainage, and embankment applications. It describes various geotextiles, test methods for evaluating their properties, and recommended design and installation procedures. The training material covers physical properties, functions, design... Learn More

Soils and Geology Procedures for Foundation Design of Buildings and Other Structures Foundation design differs considerably from design of other elements of a structure because of the interaction between the structure and the supporting medium (soil and/or rock). This course presents guidance for selecting and designing foundations and associated... Learn More

Engineering Uses of Geotextiles This course provides an analysis of various geotextiles, test methods for evaluating their properties, and recommended design and installation procedures. It covers physical properties, functions, design methods, design details and construction procedures for geotextiles as used in pavements, railroad beds, retaining wall earth embankment, rip-rap,...
