It was a pleasure meeting you in New York, the workshop was a great add-on for me as a user of the software. It has provided validation of used method and has shown new way of using the software.

ONE SLOPE.
DIFFERENT METHODS.
DIFFERENT SAFETY FACTORS.
One slope. Different methods. Different answers. What changes when the same slope is analyzed with limit equilibrium or finite element methods, upper or lower bound approaches, total or effective stresses? Starting from failure mechanisms and case histories, the workshop moves to stabilization methods, soil nail wall design and inclinometer monitoring, with worked examples and practical tips at every step. Understand the why behind the numbers.
Different methods. Different results. Understand the why behind the numbers.
AFTER THIS WORKSHOP, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:
✓ Identify failure mechanisms and instability indicators in slopes
✓ Compare limit equilibrium and FEM, upper and lower bound, and total and effective stress approaches
✓ Select stabilization methods and remedial measures, including pile stabilization
✓ Design soil nail walls with FHWA methods using ASD and LRFD
✓ Plan inclinometer monitoring and interpret readings with the appropriate correction methods
