Speakers
Terry Mccleary
McCleary Engineering
McCleary Engineering specializes in geotechnical investigations and recommendations for foundation design, retaining walls, slope stability, embankments, pavement design and rehabilitation, subgrade treatments and other engineering services such as drainage studies. McCleary Engineering is Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) prequalified in general geotechnical services, subsurface explorations, structure geotechnical reports and construction inspection categories.
Mr. McCleary has nearly 19 years of construction and geotechnical engineering experience with IDOT. Six years were spent on the front lines of contract administration in construction as a resident engineer on bridge and roadway projects which included construction layout, material inspection and construction practice inspection. For the last 13 years at IDOT, Mr. McCleary was the District #3 geotechnical engineer, working with hands-on subsurface investigations; analysis, design, and inspection of geotechnical engineering projects; and on-the-spot problem solving. He has served on numerous statewide committees involving abutment design, piling, aggregate subgrade, subgrade stability, pavement under drains and pavement rehabilitation. He served on a nationwide Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) pooled fund study on deep soil mixing technology. In 2009, Mr. McCleary left IDOT to work full time at his company, McCleary Engineering. Mr. McCleary is a licensed professional engineer in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Georgia, Montana, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. He is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the National Society of Professional Engineers, the Deep Foundations Institute, the Pile Driving Contractors Association and the Illinois Association of Highway Engineers. He is currently serving on the NCHRP Committee for the research of bridge scour on gravel bed rivers.

Course Title: Foundation Damage and Repair: Science, Materials and Techniques
Delivery Method: Live
Course Description: This 6.5 hour live lecture presentation examines the science of structures and soils, examines foundation features, materials and functionality, evaluates foundation and slab damage, and repair methods.
Learning Objectives:
Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to identify and calculate the loads that act foundations and understand soil properties, soil bear capacity, soil settlement, and the effects of water, frost and freeze/thaw cycles.
Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to discuss the design and construction of shallow foundations, slab foundations, basements and retaining walls, and specialty features.
Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to identify and assess foundation/slab damage from settlement, expansive soils, subsurface erosion, cracking, frost heave, shrinkage, subsidence and utility, and they will be able to determine techniques to repair these causes of damage, including excavation, underpinning, pier and piles, or ground improvement.
Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to identify and assess foundation wall damage from settlement, expansive soils, poor drainage, frost loading, shrinkage, and utility failures, and they will be able to determine repair techniques pier and piles, carbon fibers, crack repair, underpinning, soil tiebacks, soldier beams, secant-tangent walls, and reconstruction.
