Retaining Wall Failures: Key Components to Successful Retaining Wall Design & Construction (2 credit hours/2 HSW Hours)
This 2 hour webinar will discuss the full impact of a retaining wall on a construction site.  It 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.  We will investigate numerous case histories of failed earth structures including the failure causes, 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 involved parties.
Bill Simpson, PE

The student will understand:

  • How a majority of retaining wall problems can be solved by having the retaining wall designed as part of the site plans and permit package in order to prevent confusion during construction of the retaining wall
  • The importance of the retaining wall designer working with the civil site engineer to properly design the site to ensure that surface water, ground water, and detained water is properly managed and designed with the site walls in mind
  • How to provide a complete design and cover all aspects of retaining wall design
  • How to identify wall failures by reviewing case histories of many wall failures
  • The need for coordination between the retaining wall design engineer and site layout team to avoid aspects of a project that are ignored which ultimately can lead to wall failure.
