COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
The California Occupational Safety and Health program (Cal/OSHA) reports that more construction deaths occur in trenches than in any other form of construction work. This is not the whole story since a number of trench and excavation failures go unreported. It is evident from this that more attention needs to be paid to the planning, construction, monitoring, and supervisory aspects of excavations, trenching, sloping, benching, shoring embankments and bund walls.
This course provides guidance for analyzing the static stability of slopes of earth and rock-fill dams, slopes of other types of embankments, excavated slopes, and natural slopes in soil and soft rock. Methods for analysis of slope stability are described and are illustrated by examples and case studies. Criteria are presented for strength tests, analysis conditions, and factors of safety. The methods of stability analysis discussed in this course satisfy all conditions of equilibrium.

This course is basically designed to provide civil and structural engineers/supervisors with professional knowledge of embankment bund stabilization and slope protection, earthworks, excavation and shoring techniques. Further, the course provides practical knowledge about the safe practices required in carrying out all forms of excavations, including trenching, in various soil types; focusing on the provision of protective systems to prevent cave-ins, and to protect employees when cave-ins occur, protect employees from material that could fall or roll from an excavated face or from the collapse of adjacent structures.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the excavation/backfilling; the compaction and shoring; the soil stabilization/improvement; the embankments and bundwalls; and the protective systems requirements.
