Soil Engineering after College: Practical Approaches to Foundations and Retaining Structures
Agenda
Webinars are conducted on a platform called Go-to-Webinar. Instructions and
login information will be provided in an access email sent closer to the date of the webinar.
View system requirements here.
All attendees must log-on through their own email – attendees may not watch
together if they wish to obtain CE credit. HalfMoon Education Inc. must be able to prove
attendance if either the attendee or HalfMoon Education Inc. is audited.
September 15, 2016, 1:00 – 2:30 PM CDT
Typical soil strength values
• Strength and compressibility arameters of granular soils,
cohesive soils and bedrock
Geotechnical aspects of shallow foundations
• Bearing capacity, soil consolidation and vertical subgrade modulus values
Geotechnical criteria for deep foundations
• Skin friction, end bearing and lateral subgrade modulus values
Earth pressures and stability of retaining structures
• Critical height of vertical cut, active pressure,
at-rest pressure and passive resistance values

Liiban Affi
Foundation Engineering ConsultantsFoundation Engineering Consultants, Inc
Mr. Affi is the founder of Foundation Engineering Consultants, Inc., in the state of California. He specializes in excavation support analysis, drilled pier foundations and sub-structural engineering software. Mr. Affi is a licensed civil engineer in California and has authored three books. He was recently awarded a U.S. patent in a new method of supporting lightly-loaded foundations and pavements on highly-expansive soils. Mr. Affi is very interested in filling the practice gap between geotechnical and structural engineers when it comes to foundations and earth retaining structures.
