Geosynthetics for Soil Reinforcement

A comprehensive 8 part training series valued at $799.00 and brought to you as a one off free series sponsored by Cirtex.

Geosynthetics for Soil Reinforcement is a practical and valuable guide to understanding geosynthetics for soil reinforcement and stabilisation for consultants, contractors and clients working in the civil construction industry. It includes a 150 page course book (pdf) with resources and references. A CPD certificate for up to 10 hours is available on completion.

Part 1 - Geosynthetics for Soil Reinforcement

This is part 1 in the series and gives an overview of the course ahead. We start with a course overview and expected outcomes, then we cover the history of geosynthetics for reinforcement and the categories of this specific field of engineering.

Webinar Complete April 28th, 2020

Part 2 - Geosynthetics for Soil Reinforcement

Geosynthetics are an engineering product, and are expected to perform a specific engineering function. Join us for module 2 as we look at the specific functions of geosynthetics and the applications to real life engineering situations.

Webinar Complete April 30th, 2020

Part 3 - Types, polymers & properties

Geosynthetics for Soil Reinforcement Part 3. In this module we will discuss the various types of geosynthetic used for reinforcement, and the polymers and properties that make them unique. We will also look at the various test methods and what they mean so you can have confidence in specifying and comparing products.

Webinar Complete May 5th, 2020

Part 4 - Reinforcement, Stabilisation and design properties

What is the difference between reinforcement and stabilization in a geosynthetic application and where does each one apply? This webinar will look at the practical application of both functions and then follow on with an overview of the design properties we need to use to correctly design for geosynthetic reinforcement.

Part 5 - Design standards, components and stability checks

In this module we will review the available design standards and manuals in common use and discuss the various approaches. Next we identify and name the components of a reinforced soil structure and proceed to identify the internal and external stability checks required for a safe design.

Part 6 - Soil types, facing & construction details

Investigate the influence of water on a reinforced soil structure, and drill into the common facing elements, construction details and how this feeds into the most common failure modes for reinforced soil structures.

Part 7 - Design program overview

In this module, we take what we have learnt over the past 6 modules and set up a real-life case in two of the most widely used design programs for reinforced soil structures. We look at a sample geometry analysed both as a Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall in program MSEW and also as a steepened slope in program ReSSa using Bishops method. We will look at the common inputs, what they mean and discuss the capabilities of the programs. This is not a comprehensive lesson on the use of the programs but will give you a good understanding of the capabilities and outputs of these powerful tools.

Part 8 - Review and Q & A

The last module is number 8, where we review all the course material and recap on specific content where the course attendees have requested more detail of tuition. We will also collect a number of the most common questions from throughout the course and address them in more detail to ensure the best understanding possible. We will wrap up with a review of the course outcomes and the suggested next steps.
