Applying Ground Modification Methods for Highway Structures presents a structured framework for developing performance-based guidelines for ground modification methods used in transportation infrastructure, including embankments, bridge approaches, and other structures.

Ground modification methods improve poor soil conditions, enable construction on marginal sites, and reduce the risk of transportation infrastructure failure. These methods help accelerate construction in challenging geotechnical environments.

During this webinar hosted by the Transportation Research Board (TRB), presenters will share a literature review, methodology development, and proposed performance-based specifications for selected ground modification methods, as well as the steps taken to implement guidance documents in state agencies’ specifications and projects.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify ground modification technologies suitability
• Implement guidance documents on user's specific projects
• Evaluate performance goals, applications, verification methods, QA/QC practices

Presenters:

• Allen Cadden, Schnabel Engineering
• Jie Han, University of Kansas
• Majid Khabbazian, Schnabel Engineering
• Kyle Rollins, Brigham Young University
   

Complimentary registration is available for employees of TRB sponsors, standing technical committee chairs, involved CRP panel members, tribal government employees, media, congressional staff, & TRB or National Academies staff.
