Foundation-Wall Design and Construction
Wednesday, August 16, 2017, 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM CDT

   Overview of foundation types, selection criteria

   Shallow foundation types, general design guidelines, examples

   Basement – retaining wall types, construction and design guidelines

   Intermediate and deep foundation systems, pile raft foundation support

   Foundation underpinning using helical piles, grouted hollow-bar and micropiles

   Specialty tangent, secant, jet-grout, soldier pile, sheet pile, and slurry walls

Assessment of Foundation-Slab Damage & Repair Alternatives
Thursday, August 17, 2017, 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM CDT

   Inspection, monitoring, and damage assessment

      • Structural-foundation material deterioration, overloading

      • Settlement, frost heave, expansive soils, shrinkage, cracking, adjacent construction

      • Sinkhole subsidence, subsurface erosion, mine subsidence, pumping, utility failures

   Repair alternatives and example case histories (substation, residential, commercial, sinkholes)

      • Underpinning using piles and piers, soil tiebacks, crack repair, waterproofing

Assessment of Foundation-Retaining Wall Damage & Repair Alternatives
Thursday, August 17, 2017, 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM CDT

   Inspection, monitoring, and damage assessment

      • Structural-foundation material deterioration, overloading, adjacent construction

      • Settlement, frost loading, expansive soils, shrinkage, cracking, poor site-wall drainage

      • Extreme weather-flood overloads, connection failures to supporting diaphragm walls

   Repair alternatives and example case histories (residential, MSE and stone retaining walls) 

      • Carbon fiber, crack repair, tiebacks, underpinning, MSE-sheet pile-secant-tangent walls
