Learn how to design Concrete Retaining walls against Earth pressure and Earthquakes

What you'll learn:
Retaining Walls Types
Active Earth Pressure
Passive Earth Pressure
At Rest Earth Pressure
Soil Shear Strength
Rankine Theory
Coulomb's Theory
Surcharge Earth Pressure
Stability Checks - Sliding, Overturning, Bearing Stress)
Earthquake Earth Pressure
Toe, Heel & Stem Design

Requirements
Only Civil Engineering Background is needed

Description
You will learn the behavior of concrete retaining walls and how it resists different type of loads such as lateral earth pressure, water pressure, surcharge loads and earthquakes loads.

We will start by illustrating all the different types of retaining walls such as Gravity walls, Gabion walls, Cantilever walls and Counterfort walls and when to use each of them.

Then we will go through a detailed illustration for all the three types of earth pressures (Active, Passive and at Rest) and the different calculation methods (Rankine and Coulomb's) and when to use each of them, then we will go through the walls design checks regarding sliding, overturning and bearing capacity.

All theories and concepts will be illustratred using very neat sketches and graphics prepared specially for this course to make it crystal clear for you during your learning.

All the above will be illustrated by many solved examples for better understating of the theories and how to apply it properly, the last chapter will deal with the seismic behavior of retaining walls during earthquakes and how to calculate the additional seismic forces acting on the walls.

After this course you will be able to analyze and design any type of Retaining walls and use earth pressure theories properly in the design process.
