Corrosion of Soil Reinforcements
Course number
GE-02-305
PDH credits
9
Corrosion of Soil Reinforcements Engineers and specialty material suppliers have been designing reinforced soil structures for the past 35 years. During the last decade significant improvements have been made to the design methods and in the understanding of factors affecting the durability of the soil reinforcements. This work is becoming even more important now that…

Bearing Capacity of Soils I This course provides guidelines for calculating the bearing capacity of soil beneath shallow and deep foundations supporting various types of structures and embankments. The training material, which is from the Army Corps of Engineers document “Bearing Capacity of Soils”, is intended as a guide for determining allowable and ultimate bearing…
Lateral Earth Pressure for Non-Geotechnical Engineers
Course number
GE-02-300
PDH credits
2
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 and passive) that apply to a…
Rock Engineering
Course number
GE-02-230
PDH credits
12
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 intact, continuum single rock block to…
Repair of Rigid Pavements Using Epoxy Resin Grouts, Mortars and Concretes
Course number
GE-02-210
PDH credits
2
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 procedures for rapid repair of uncontrolled…

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 methods, design details and construction procedures…
Soils and Geology Procedures for Foundation Design of Buildings and Other Structures
Course number
GE-02-110
PDH credits
5
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 features for buildings, retaining structures, and…
