When: Wednesday 3/6, 2 - 4 pm ET
This lecture addresses three main topics. The first will be a review of the design and construction of tieback walls using active anchors, used from 1957 to date. The second topic is soil nailing, a technique which started in 1970 or earlier using passive ground anchors. The last topic is slope instrumentation and monitoring, as well as early warning alarm systems used in Hong Kong, Rio de Janeiro and other places. This presentation is part of the Slope Course series which is based on the Handbook of slope stabilization, a copy of which will be made available to the participants.

I felt the webinar was well organized with interesting back stories from the presenter.
very good well presented
This was a really good presentation. I work on many slope stabilization projects, retaining walls, etc. but nothing as big as described. It was very interesting to see the many changes and developments in the engineering involved over my lifetime. These larger projects, with their individual peculiarities, are very interesting and relatable to many projects I have done. Thanks;

Very Informative
