When: Wednesday 10/4, 2 - 4 pm ET
This presentation lecture will address three main topics. The first will be a quick review of gravity and concrete walls. The second is steel (Terre Armée) and geosynthetic reinforced walls; the third will discuss ground anchors, bolts and nails. 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.
Date: Wednesday | October 4, 2023 | 2 - 4 pm ET Credits: 2 PDH Units

Course Reviews
Not much design information.
Proprietary systems of anchorage; majority of projects were foreign.

Dear Sir,
I gave a lot of information on the design of soil and rock slopes in the previous seminars and will give a lot of design hints in the next seminar for tiebacks and soil nailing. However, as gravity walls design is very simple and there are information available in many books, including mine, I decided to focus on the design strategy, rather than simple calculations. These calculation details are in the text book for this course, made available to all participants from this link https://1drv.ms/b/s!AjN5l4s7vkH6lIxUl2NtnyJFJzS0BA?e=9nf6JC
Regarding anchorage systems: I showed examples from Dywidag, a well known manufacturer which is in many countries and in America. I extended the discussion to fibre reinforced plastic bars and gave examples from MST bars, available in America.
As a geotechnical consultant, I have drawn my experience from many countries I have worked for many years

i was disappointed because there was very little actual design information

I was very happy with the content and delivery of Dr Ortigao

Thank you very much. You will see a lot more in my next lecture which wiill cover tied back walls and soil nailed slopes.
Very good presentation and applications of actual products being used.
This course is well worth your time and a basis to start learning more about this topic.
Good use of showing practical examples
Interesting and useful.
Thank you very much
