Earth Retaining Structures: the Forgotten Infrastructure Feature
Earth Retaining Structures (ERS) are an often-overlooked asset on many infrastructure facilities. ERS are critical features in both temporary and permanent applications on transportation, building and energy projects. Having design lives which vary from 3-100 years and unit cost variations approaching two orders of magnitude, ERS are commonly integral project components and significantly influence cost, schedule and long-term performance. Regretfully, ERS short (during construction), and long-term performance often disappoints owners, designers and constructors. This webinar provides a summary of recommended selection, design and construction guidance for their successful application.
