COURSE NO: C10-009
PDH CREDIT: 10
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Design and Construction Guidelines for Geosynthetic
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course focuses on the design and construction guidelines for Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) abutments and Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS).

This course provides essential knowledge about bridge design, construction, and maintenance, emphasizing innovative methods that enhance performance and reduce costs. It covers topics such as composite behavior of GRS, material specifications, design methodologies, construction techniques, and quality assurance practices.

Moreover, this course explores the effective integration of GRS technology in bridge applications, including site selection, design steps, and in-service performance monitoring. It serves as a critical resource for understanding the latest advancements in GRS technology and its practical applications in civil engineering.

This 10 PDH online course is applicable to civil and geotechnical engineers, as well as other technical professionals seeking to implement GRS-IBS technology in their projects.
