New Jersey | 26 Oct 11 - 28 Oct 11 | 2:00pm
This course is organized by ADAMA Engineering and is designed to help attendees appreciate and implement mechanically stabilized earth walls and reinforced soil slopes using Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD) methods. It is suitable for geotechnical engineers, design specialists, construction engineers; consulting engineers and members of the academic community. Dr Gilbert will be presenting on the topic of "Recent Developments in Limit Analysis and Limit State Design of Reinforced Soil" on Friday 28th October. more...

Louvain-la-Neuve | 27 Jun 11 | 5:30pm
In this conference two powerful techniques which have recently become available to geotechnical engineers involved in the design of conventional and reinforced soil constructions will be described. In the first presentation Prof. Dov Leshchinsky will describe how the diagnostic Safety Map (SM) tool can be used to design reinforced slopes and walls. In the second presentation Drs. Colin Smith and Matthew Gilbert will describe how the recently developed Discontinuity Layout Optimization (DLO) limit analysis procedure can bridge the gap between simple hand-based analysis methods and much more complex incremental techniques (e.g. based on non-linear finite elements), providing an easy to use general purpose geotechnical analysis tool that may be directly applied in ultimate limit state design. more...

London | 2 Feb 11 | 9:00am - 5:00pm
This training course is designed to benefit practicing geotechnical engineers; civil and structural engineers; those with a responsibility for, or exposure to, geotechnical design. Participants will gain an appreciation of ULS design to Eurocode 7 using computational limit analysis and its relationship to previous BS design codes. Furthermore they will develop a working knowledge of both core and advanced features of LimitState:GEO, enabling them to model any limit analysis problem geometry. All participants will be issued with a CPD certificate recording their attendance. more...

London | 1 Feb 11 | 10:00am - 1:00pm
This half-day seminar will provide participants with a broad overview of the methods available to assess masonry arch bridges. A special emphasis will be placed on limit analysis methods, which have proved very popular in recent years. Version 3.0 of the LimitState:RING software application will be officially launched at the seminar, and used to demonstrate many of the principles covered. Specific features of this powerful software application will also be described in detail. more...
