Hyperbolic Stress-Strain Parameters for Structured/Cemented Silts

Engineer's, here is our online continuing education course which reviews the Army Corps of Engineers hyperbolic stress-strain parameters for structured/cemented silts. You will earn 10 PDH training hours upon conclusion of this course.


The finite element method provides a powerful technique for the analysis of stresses and movements in earth masses, and it has been applied to a variety of soil-structure interactionproblems.

Modeling the stress-strain characteristics of soils is extremely complex because the behavior of soil is nonlinear, inelastic, and highly dependent on the magnitude of the stresses in the soil.

Engineer Learning Objectives:

• Learn the converstion factors
• Learn the hyperbolic stress-strain model and parameters
• Understand previous research
• Ascimilate background of laboratory testing using structured/cemented silt
• Learn about oedometer testing
• Know test procedures relating to triaxial compression
• ICD triaxial tests on partially saturated and saturated specimins
• ICD upload/reload triaxial tests on partially saturated specimins
• Learn about the various testing results

This is a handout style PDH class that comprehensively reviews the report.
