This is a live, encore presentation of a webinar that was originally offered on 02/26/2019. Attendees of the previously offered presentation, RV-W022619, will not receive CEU for attending the 03/28/2019 presentation.

Infrastructure projects require the best use of available real estate, and one of the principal tools used to provide workable area for engineering projects is the use of earth retaining structures. These retaining walls help professionals in the A/E/C industry cut into steep slopes or provide flat construction pads. They are in essence the hidden workhorse in land development and infrastructure project design. Professionals within the A/E/C industry are constantly re-contouring the land to accommodate infrastructure designs and development. In this webinar, engineers, architects, planners, contractors and design professionals will learn different applications and types of earth retaining structures, so they can choose the design that works best for their site criteria and project.

Note: This is a live webinar delivered via WebEx. Session instructions will be emailed to you 24-48 hours prior to the webinar and the morning of the webinar. If you have not received your instructions for any reason please call client support the day of the event. Webinars are live and interactive and students will have the ability to directly interact with and ask questions of the presenter.

Course Objectives

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

Classify earth retaining structures by load support mechanism, by construction method and by system rigidity.
Given either an active or passive lateral earth pressure, describe its safety impact to an earth retaining structure.
Describe the conversion of surcharge loads to lateral earth pressures for the design of earth retaining elements.
Use 10 steps to design earth retaining structures that preserve the safety of the public.
Identify at least two elements of the analysis of a cast-in-place cantilever wall.
Given a process in the construction of an earth retaining structure, list the responsibilities of a field inspector to provide a safe structure.

SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT: Alfredo Cely, P.E., MSEM

Alfredo is a Civil Engineer that has managed Transportation, Land Development, Water Resources and Aviation projects from planning to construction for the past 14 years. Most recently his consulting work has focused on assisting state and local agencies in improving the safety of our transportation network. He has been responsible for several multi-modal transportation projects in the Tampa Bay Area, throughout the U.S. and abroad. He is a licensed Civil Engineer in Florida, North Carolina, and Ecuador.

At the University of South Florida, Alfredo serves as an instructor for the Transportation sections of the P.E. Preparation Courses hosted by the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) Student Chapter. Alfredo is a member of ASCE’s Street and Highway Operations Committee and is an associate member of the Aviation Planning and Operations Committee. At the national level, Alfredo helps several of the Transportation Research Board Committees and is currently involved in the following committees: Low Volume Roads; Hydrology, Hydraulics and Water Quality; Pedestrian Safety; and Bicycle Transportation.

Alfredo served as the Chair of the local ASCE Transportation and Development Institute group during its first two years (2012-2014). The Florida West Coast Chapter of the ASCE has recognized Alfredo’s commitment to the profession and our community honoring him with the Young Engineer of the Year Award in 2014. As part of his involvement with the local engineering community, Alfredo currently serves as a Board Member of the Florida West Coast Branch for ASCE.
