Course Title: Retaining Wall Tieback Design

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This 2.5-hour course focuses on the types, placement, capacity, construction, monitoring and load testing of three general types of tiebacks for retaining walls: deadman, helical and grouted.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to identify different types of retaining walls and understand how to compute lateral earth pressures.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to determine the capacity of deadman tiebacks, consider optimal placement and discuss construction techniques.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to determine the capacity of helical tiebacks, consider optimal sizes and embedments and discuss construction techniques and load testing.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to determine the capacity of grouted tiebacks, consider different types and placement, and discuss construction techniques and load testing.
