Grouting and Ground Improvement is a 4-day course that covers engineering, equipment, materials, and methods for grouting and ground modification used in civil and geotechnical engineering, underground construction, tunneling, and mining projects of various types. This course is designed to take you to the next level, giving you hands-on experience with a full spectrum of grouting and ground improvement technologies and topics.
The course consists of classroom presentations by internationally-recognized experts and hands-on laboratory demonstrations and testing of grouts and grouting methods as well as off-campus field demos.
Classroom and lab topics include:
Geotechnical basics of Ground Improvement and Geotechnical Site Investigation
Grouting Methods (Jet, Compensation, Permeation, Compaction, Backfill, Rock Curtain Grouting)
Grouting Materials (cementitious and chemical) and Equipment
Ground Freezing
Soil Mixing
Induced consolidation with Wick Drains
Risk Evaluation of Ground Improvement and Cost Considerations
Course highlights include a field demo day providing participants with the opportunity to see grouting and ground improvement field equipment in action.
Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) S3: Slopes, Support and Stabilization is a 2.5-day conference on the practical application of deep foundations and ground improvement techniques for stabilizing soft ground, landslides and slopes, and supporting deep excavations. The technical program highlights the state-of-practice, current research, innovations, advancements, and case histories of deep foundations, anchored earth retention, slurry walls, ground improvement, deep mixing. The popular software discussion will be held again this year: a featured interactive panel discussion that covers the effective use of software for analyzing slope and landslide stabilization and deep excavation projects.
