2 hrs. Webinar
Level: Advanced
Item#: RV-W100819
SME: Alfredo Cely, P.E., MSEM
- Identify the main element that causes internal deformation in roadway embankments that may contribute to unsafe traveling conditions.
- Given a set of foundation failure parameters identify whether the soil failure was caused by either internal or external deformation.
- Describe the safety considerations for selecting structural backfill.
- Use four steps to estimate the stresses in native soils under earthen fills.
- Select at least two load reducing techniques used to reduce the amount of settlement so as to provide smooth and safe traveling conditions.
- Given a roadway embankment cross-section, identify the placement location for a slope inclinometer for verifying settlement during construction so as to ensure safe traveling conditions.
