Seminar Description
Part 2 will focus on cast-in-place concrete cantilevered wall design, and will go into greater detail than Part 1. It will go through examples of design calculations, step-by-step, for both IBC and AASHTO methodologies. The examples will discuss the different assumptions and design criteria that can be used in retaining wall design, and how those different assumptions and criteria can impact the final design. It will also address design elements such as fall protection, vehicle barriers, soil backfill specifications and wall drainage.The views and opinions expressed in this seminar are those of the speaker(s) and do not necessarily reflect those held by S. K. Ghosh Associates LLC.
