SLOPE STABILITY & INCLINOMETER MONITORING WORKSHOP
Slope stability, Soil nail wall, and Inclinometer Monitoring - Online Workshop
SLOPE STABILITY ONLINE WORKSHOP
TIME AND DATE: Wednesday, December 1, 2021 10.30 AM to 5 PM EST
6.5 PDH Credits Available
Price: Only $650 / Attendee
The workshop encapsulates years of expertise in slope stability, soil nail walls, and inclinometers. Through this workshop, engineers will strengthen their foundational knowledge and reduce uncertainties.

Beyond software, the seminar focuses both on theory and practice. Starting from simple examples to more advanced topics the worskhop is distilling years of slope stability, soil nail wall, and inclinometer experience. The workshop will build on solid fundamentals, and help engineers minimize uncertainties.

OUR EXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS

WORKSHOP INSTRUCTOR: ROB CLARK
Rob Clark, P.E., Geotechnical Services Engineer, Geokon, has more than 30 years of instrumentation experience in the design and installation of an assortment of instrument types. Many of these years were spent in the consulting industry where he served as an instrumentation specialist for a variety of small to large scale monitoring programs. He has worked in the instrumentation industry on many facets of the monitoring programs, ranging from development of plans and specifications.
Rob has installed over 100 inclinometers casings throughout his career. He currently works with Geokon customers providing field assistance for installations and in-house data evaluation, including inclinometer data.

WORKSHOP INSTRUCTOR: ANTONIOS VYTINIOTIS
Dr. Vytiniotis is the Director of the MA Consulting practice at Geocomp. He has background in structural and geotechnical engineering, geotechnical earthquake engineering, and numerical analysis. He has worked on numerous projects in more than 20 states and multiple countries, assisting project owners, law firms, utility companies, insurance companies and developers.
His analyses consist of assessing soil improvement, soil-structure interaction, effects of vibrations and vibration isolation, construction defects, premises code compliance, dam safety, landslides, LNG and diesel tank condition assessments, API tank inspections, assessing wind turbine failures, causation of MSE wall failures, effects of adjacent construction, soil heave or settlements, frost-induced effects on soils, pipeline installation, effects of soil movements on pipelines, water intrusion, flooding, scour and backfill quality.
