Retaining Wall Failures And How To Prevent Them (Webinar)

In Retaining Wall Failures And How To Prevent Them, you'll learn ...

• The impact that retaining walls have on construction sites
• How to address both small-scale and large-scale problems related to retaining walls on a construction site
• Detailed case studies that will allow the participants to place the information into real-world context

Overview

---

In this webinar, we will discuss the full impact of a retaining wall on a construction site. We will highlight often-overlooked features of retaining walls and how to prevent not just structural, but also larger scale site problems related to these structures. Numerous case histories of failed earth structures including the failure causes, will be investigated, as well as the subsequent repair techniques taken, and what could have prevented the failure. We will address site layout improvements related to retaining walls, comprehensive retaining wall design and inspection, along with proper roles and responsibilities of all the involved parties.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Identify the major contributors to retaining wall failure.
• Explain how to develop a site layout that minimizes the risk of retaining wall failure.
• Describe the key components of successful retaining wall design and construction.
• Explain the consequences of not following retaining wall best practices.
