Webinar Brief
In this session, six speakers will incorporate soil improvement challenges on-site projects and studies. Speakers will talk about dynamic compaction to improve in-place landfill material, municipal solid waste (MSW), ground improvement, liquefaction mitigation, and mix-use to improve the ground. The construction project on embankments, reinforcement, deep mixing methods, and deep excavations are the session topics. Discussion on retaining walls, methods to improve in-place landfill material, and rigid inclusion will be used to support roadway fill and mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Apply new methods to improve the ground in challenge conditions
- Explain deep mixing methods
- Explain and apply the use of dynamic compaction as a method to improve in-place landfill materials
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Achievement of the learning objectives will be assessed through a short post-test.
Who Should Attend
The level of instruction will be primarily for practitioners, regulatory agencies, builders, inspectors, operators. Some of the engineers and groups that should attend are: civil engineers, structural engineers, civil engineers, designers, geologist, geotechnical engineers, property owners, and contractors.

How to Earn your CEUs/PDHs
To receive your certificate of completion, you will need to complete a short, on-line post-test within 30 days of viewing this course.
How do I convert CEUs to PDHs?
1.0 CEU = 10 PDHs [Example: 0.1 CEU = 1 PDH]
