Description:
The successful analysis and design of slope and erosion control requires an in-depth understanding of several subjects and concepts. It is imperative to harmonize slope stability and the use of erosion control techniques for retaining earth masses in attractive, environmentally compatible and cost-effective ways. This requires a thorough understanding of the erosion process, structural and mechanical methods to control erosion, as well as the mechanics of mass stability and surface erosion. This course presents the information needed to provide adequate analyses and treatment procedures of retained earth masses in two parts:
-Slope Stability Design
-Erosion Control Concepts and Techniques
Each part is assigned one full day to cover theory, practical information on design, hands-on problem solving and a selection of well-documented case studies.

After Attending This Workshop You Will Be Able To:
|
|
|
Apply fundamentals of slope engineering to conduct simple stability analyses of slopes
|
|
|
Solve hands-on example problems and compare the results with computer output to carry out slope stability analysis
|
|
|
Use Slope-W computer software for slope stability analysis
|
|
|
Perform erosion control analyses
|
|
|
Benefit from state-of-the-art erosion control methods and latest techniques for slope stabilization
|
|
|
Save project cost by using comprehensive understanding of design considerations and specifications of materials and methods
|
|
Understand slope design and the state of the art stabilization methods and slope protection and erosion control methods |
|
|
Target Audience:
|
|
Highway, railroad construction, and maintenance engineers; consulting engineers; developers; landscape architects; construction contractors; individuals involved in slope protection, projects/stabilization/repair as it may relate to agriculture, watershed and wetlands, airports, harbours, gas pipelines, mining, forestry, lakeshore and stream bank slope protection; regulatory personnel concerned with fisheries, water quality and the environment.
A background in civil or geotechnical engineering, geology, soil science, would be helpful but is not a must.

Dr. Abdelaziz is a former adjunct professor at University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada, visiting professor at Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada and part time professor at Seneca College, Toronto, Canada.
Dr. Abdelaziz is specialized in numerical modeling for solving sophisticated geotechnical engineering problems with respect to pile foundation and the linear and nonlinear analysis of soil-structure interaction. He designed charts to predict pressures acting on tunnels, and developed analytical model for pile bearing capacity prediction.
Dr. Abdelaziz authored a number of technical papers and delivered numerous internal and external workshops on various geotechnical and Municipal engineering topics. Dr. Abdelaziz has been involved in a number of projects in Canada and overseas, such as tunneling, silos, buildings, retaining structures, siphons, irrigation networks and many other civil engineering projects in terms of design and construction.
Dr. Abdelaziz is a member in different professional societies such as APEGGA, PEO, CGS, CDA, TAC and ABPA. He is also a reviewer for the Canadian Geotechnical Journal.
