July 27, 2017 Meeting
Dear ASCE Southern Branch Members,
Please join us for our July Meeting. This will be a lunch meeting at Dilworth Neighborhood Grille on Thursday July 27, 2017, with registration/socialization beginning at 11:30 am.
The details for the meeting are as follows:
Topic: Design Methodologies and Construction Case Studies in Stabilization of Deep-Seated, Slow Moving Landslides
This presentation will focus on the geological causes, engineering design, and construction aspects involved in stabilization of large, slow moving landslides located in both the Blue Ridge and Piedmont physiographic provinces of the Carolinas. Three projects designed and constructed since 2006 will be featured and contrasted. Following a discussion of the geological aspects and root causes of each slide, the primary focus will be to compare and contrast different design and construction methodologies employed in remediation of slides of this type. Comparisons will also be made between the design assumptions and the actual performance of the repairs, allowing for a discussion on how such designs may be refined in the future.
