Geohazards in the Rocky Mountains:
Presenter
David Crotsley, PG, Senior Geologist
HDR Engineering, Inc.
Denver, CO
Within three business days and after auditing participation, PCPG will circulate a PDH certificate documenting registrant’s participation time, not to exceed 60 minutes.
Level: Basic/General with more intermediate material in case histories.
Webinar Overview: We’ll discuss the design rock cuts in various metamorphic terrains as well as the design and implementation of rockfall mitigation options. Kinematic and Hoek-Brown failure modes provide methodologies in evaluating the structural geology conditions of mining highwalls or rock cuts associated with new roadway alignments, so we’ll present two case studies in how to apply these methods and the innovations needed to keep the practice moving.
Who should attend: Those interested in geology from the basics of structural evaluation through the engineering of rockfall mitigations should attend the webinar. We’ll cover everything from the initial fieldwork through completion of construction.
