Georgia Geotechnical 15 PDH Discount Package 3
This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on foundation exploration and testing procedures, analysis techniques, allowable criteria, design procedures, and construction consideration for the selection, design, and installation of sheet pile walls and flood walls. The guidance is based on the present state of the technology for sheet pile-soil-structure interaction behavior.
Since the understanding of the physical causes of sheet pile wall behavior is actively expanding by better definition through ongoing research, prototype, model sheet pile wall testing and development of more refined analytical models, this course is intended to provide examples and procedures of what has been proven successful.
This 5 PDH online course is applicable to geotechnical and structural engineers as well as design and construction personnel interested in understanding the construction techniques related to sheet pile wall behavior during installation.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the stratigraphy of the subgrade as well as its engineering geology characteristics
- Understanding current methodologies for evaluating system loads that govern the design of a sheet pile wall
- Evaluating failure modes and selecting certain system parameters to prevent failure
- Selecting criteria, procedures and parameters necessary for the structural design of sheet pile walls
- Understanding the behavior of the wall/soil system (interface interaction analysis)
- Understanding the various engineering considerations pertaining to the construction of sheet pile walls
- Understanding the special design considerations pertaining to the construction of sheet pile walls
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the US Corps of Engineers Publication EM 1110-2-2504, "Design of Sheet Pile Walls".

This online engineering PDH course presents the guidelines for calculation of the bearing capacity of soil under shallow and deep foundations supporting various types of structures such as buildings and houses, towers and storage tanks, fills, embankments and dams. These guidelines may be helpful in determining soils that will lead to bearing capacity failure or excessive settlements for given foundations and loads.
Bearing capacity is the ability of soil to safely carry the pressure placed on the soil from any engineered structure without undergoing a shear failure with accompanying large settlements. Applying a bearing pressure which is safe with respect to failure does not ensure that settlement of the foundation will be within acceptable limits. Therefore, settlement analysis should generally be performed since most structures are sensitive to excessive settlement.
This 10 PDH online course is applicable to civil, structural and geotechnical engineers, as well as design and construction personnel who are involved with foundation investigation and design.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the failure modes and other factors that influence the bearing capacity
- Knowing the non-load related design considerations due to environmental and geotechnical conditions
- Familiarizing with the laboratory and in situ methods of determining soil parameters required for analysis of bearing capacity
- Analyzing the bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the US Corps of Engineers Publication EM 1110-1-1905, "Bearing Capacity of Soils".
