Interactive & Video Discount Package - Mississippi Geotechnical and Ethics 15 PDH

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides an advanced numerical modelling approach to evaluate rock stability at bridge piers and abutments.

Riprap is one of the most common materials used to protect bridge abutment and pier foundations from scour. A key element of the design of riprap countermeasures is rock sizing, which is based on equations generally derived from simplified laboratory experiments.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for designers and engineers responsible for protecting bridge foundations.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides an overview of design and analysis of laterally loaded deep foundations.

Lateral loads in deep foundations occur under various conditions. In some applications, such as noise walls or landslide stabilization, lateral loads are the principal design load.
For bridge foundation applications, lateral loads must be fully considered in the design. In many cases, lateral loads control the diameter or width of the foundations.

This 4 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for geotechnical and structural engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about the selection, design, analysis, and testing of laterally loaded deep foundations.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a brief guidance for the design and construction of post-grouted drilled shafts through cost-effective and appropriate use of post-grouting techniques.

Although post-grouting of drilled shafts has been performed for nearly four decades in Europe, there has been limited application of post-grouting in the United States. Post-grouting is typically accomplished using a grout delivery system that is incorporated into a drilled shaft during construction. However, concerns remain regarding the reliance on improved performance for post-grouted drilled shafts.

This presentation summarizes the current state of practice for post-grouting of drilled shafts in the U.S., documents the analyses and evaluations performed to evaluate alternative improvement mechanisms for PGDS, and describes the findings and recommendations developed based on the work performed. The presentation concludes with recommendations for future work needed to improve post-grouting practice for transportation infrastructure.

This 4 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to civil engineers, construction and transportation planners, designers, and other technical professionals who are involved in the grout distribution services.

This engineering online PDH video presentation will offer a thorough overview of modern soil improvement methods for engineers.

This course focuses on the critical role of improving soil conditions that often determine project success. Selecting the right method requires a solid understanding of available techniques and their unique characteristics. Also, this course covers essential methods including wick drains, deep compaction (like vibro-compaction and stone columns), grouting, and ground freezing. It also examines soil mixing and injection techniques such as permeation, compaction, jet grouting, and deep soil mixing.

This 2 PDH online video presentation is intended for civil, geotechnical, structural, and construction engineers as well as professionals seeking to expand their understanding of ground improvement methods.

This engineering online PDH video presentation will deliver a focused, practical overview of non-destructive testing in drilled shafts, designed to help engineers detect and address potential defects.

As critical foundation elements in large infrastructure projects, drilled shafts require precise construction and thorough monitoring to prevent costly issues. This presentation includes a brief history and evolution of drilled shafts, followed by a review of key construction methods and the root causes of common defects.

This video presentation will examine typical construction challenges such as misalignment, poor concrete placement, and other flaws affecting structural integrity. Defects will be categorized, and advanced non-destructive testing techniques like Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL), Crosshole Tomography (CT), and Sonic Echo (SE) will be introduced. These methods allow for the accurate diagnosis of the drilled shaft without damaging the structure. It also outlines repair techniques and risk mitigation strategies aimed at improving quality control and long-term shaft performance.

This 2 PDH online video presentation is intended for civil, geotechnical, structural, and construction engineers as well as professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of drilled shaft construction and quality assurance through non-destructive testing.

This online engineering PDH video presentation introduces the laws and rules of ethics and professional responsibility governing the practice of engineering in the State of Mississippi. It also emphasizes on behavior as a professional member of the workforce.

This video presents the provisions of professional conduct from two viewpoints. First, your conduct as a professional engineer with behavior that is unique to engineers such as stamping drawings, signing official or technical documents, preparing estimates for clients or employers, and submitting engineering reports to official agencies. Second, your behavior as a member of the larger workforce where you communicate with team members, follow company policies and procedures, and your overall behavior as part of a workplace community.

Furthermore, this presentation discusses the disciplinary cases and its outcomes in situations where professional engineers have violated the requirements of professional responsibility and ethical conduct – the decisions we make when no one is watching.

This 2 PDH video presentation is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of Mississippi and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering ethics as a condition of their license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete thirty (30) professional development hours, at least one (1) of which must be relative to the rules of professional responsibility, conduct and ethics. The remaining hours shall relate to the licensee's area of practice.
