The Midwest Geosciences Group presents another webinar titled - Taking the Mystery Out of the Subsurface.
The most important factor for:
1. Meaningful well screen design and placement
2. Reliable potentiometric-surface maps
3. Groundwater-monitoring system design
4. Optimum remediation-system design
5. Excavation and foundation design
6. Field management of unanticipated subsurface conditions
The most costly struggle for management in maintaining up-to-date training in basic field procedures and subsurface analysis skills. This comprehensive online course series provides the training and identifies the key steps essential for Taking the Mystery Out of the Subsurface.
Synopsis
There are three essential steps to successfully take the mystery out of the subsurface in order to meet project objectives and satisfy your client and regulators about the site characterization. These steps include accurate soil classification efficiently completed in the field, soil descriptions that include all of the elements needed for complete characterization, and skillful adaption to any unanticipated site conditions that affect successfully meeting project objectives.
The first essential step is to accurately and efficiently classify the soil using the Unified Soil Classification (USCS). Midwest lecturers will:
1. Discuss the purpose behind the USCS,
2. USCS classification strengths and weaknesses,
3. How to correctly and efficiently classify soils in the USCS, and
4. the all too common ways industry mistakenly uses the USCS in site characterization.
Unfortunately, the industry state-of-practice overlooks simple improvements to make the classification a useful characterization tool and often misuses the classification in site evaluation. Also covered ..
Coarse-Grained vs. Fine-Grained Sediments,
Laboratory Methods vs. Field Classification Techniques,
Particle Size Curves and meaning,
Poorly-Graded vs. Well-Graded, and
Understand the Coefficient of Uniformity.
