Continuing Education Credit Information
This webinar offers 7.5 PDHs to professional engineers and 7.5 HSW continuing education hours to architects in all states. It offers 7.5 HSW continuing education hours to landscape architects in most states. HalfMoon Education is not seeking landscape architect approval in Florida, New Jersey, or North Carolina.
HalfMoon Education is an approved continuing education sponsor for engineers in Florida (Provider No. 0004647), Indiana (License No. CE21700059), Maryland, New Jersey (Approval No. 24GP00000700), North Carolina (S-0130), and North Dakota.HalfMoon Education is deemed an approved continuing education sponsor for New York engineers, architects, and landscape architects via its registration with the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education System (Regulations of the Commissioner §68.14(i)(2) and §69.6(i)(2), §79-1.5(i)(2)). Courses approved by the AIA/CES qualify for Florida and New Jersey architects. Other states do not preapprove continuing education providers or courses.
This course has been approved by the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education System 7.5 LU|HSW (Sponsor No. J885) and the Landscape Architect Continuing Education System for 7.5 HSW PDHs. Only full participation is reportable to the AIA/CES and LA CES.
The Association of State Floodplain Managers has approved this event for 7.5 CECs for certified floodplain managers.

Course Title: Slope Stablization and Landslide Prevention
Delivery Method: Live Online
Course Description: This live webinar presentation examines slope mechanics and movement, slope stabilization methods, landslide hazards and risk assessment, and case histories of landslide mitigation.
Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to identify and describe the types of slope movement and instability and discuss the influence of water in soil and rock mechanics.
Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to distinguish between natural slopes and engineered slopes and explain how geological conditions, soil types and topography, along with surface and groundwater conditions affects slope stability, all of which need to be evaluated for site development.
Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to describe how discuss how the stability of slopes is analyzed and how that information is used to determine which stabilization method is appropriate prior to development.
Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to identify the elements of landslide risk and the strategies used for landslide mitigation to reduce risk to property and human safety.
