Purpose:
The purpose of Strength and Stability of Constructed Slopes is to familiarize students with site characterization and computational methods to evaluate the stability of slopes.
Description:
The course covers laboratory and insitu methods to evaluate soil strength with emphasis on applications to slope stability. Both hand and numerical methods to evaluate the stability of slopes are covered. The course covers the influence of tension cracks, surcharge loading, transient and steady state seepage, rapid drawdown, soil reinforcement, pseudo-static seismic loads, and risk analyses. The course also includes simple examples using finite element software.
Prerequisites:
Nominees should be:
• Assigned occupational series 0810 (Geotechnical) or 1350 (Geology)
• GS-07 or above
• Possess a geotechnical educational background OR at least 1 year of job experience in geotechnical evaluation
• Prepared to provide proof of completion of “GeoStudio 2D Basics” or “GeoStudio Remote Getting Started” in advance of the course. Submission instructions will be provided after course registration.
