Purpose and Background
This presentation will discuss the challenges in assessing offshore slope stability for oil and gas operations as well as wind generators. We will identify maintenance issues for small dams that could lead to hazardous conditions in both steady state and extreme events. We will discuss the development of solution schemes capable of predicting the deformation process and describe a 3D slope stability analysis to investigate the range of mobilized drained residual friction angle for Pierre Shale.
Benefits and Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Discuss the reconnaissance, drilling, sampling, and testing of offshore soils to develop shear strength parameters to assess offshore slope stability
- The results of the 3D inverse analysis are used to study several remedial measures in an effort to stabilize the landslide near the bridge
- Illustrate how to set up a 3D slope stability analysis and use it to evaluate potential remedial measures including drilled shaft shear key and shear walls
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Achievement of the learning objectives will be assessed through a short post-test.

How to Earn your CEUs/PDHs
To receive your certificate of completion, you will need to complete a short on-line post-test and receive a passing score of 70% or higher within 1 year of purchasing the course.
How do I convert CEUs to PDHs?
1.0 CEU = 10 PDHs [Example: 0.1 CEU = 1 PDH]
