An Introduction to Foundations on Fill and Backfilling (G01-003)
Design of Sheet Pile Walls (G05-001)
Emergency Action Planning for Dam Safety (C04-054)
This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to methods, techniques and equipment for selecting, placing and compacting fill and backfill materials for structure foundations.
Foundations may be constructed on fills and backfilled material. Fills may include conventional compacted fills; hydraulic fills; and uncontrolled fills of soils or industrial and domestic wastes, such as ashes, slag, chemical wastes, building rubble, and refuse. Properly placed compacted fill will be more rigid and uniform and have greater strength than most natural soils. Hydraulic fills may be compacted or uncompacted and are an economical means of providing fill over large areas. Except when cohesionless materials, i.e., clean sands and gravels, are placed under controlled conditions so silty pockets are avoided and are compacted as they are placed, hydraulic fills will generally require some type of stabilization to ensure adequate foundations.
This 1 PDH online course is intended for civil engineers, structural engineers, geotechnical engineers, geologists and other design and construction professionals seeking an introduction to methods and techniques for fill and backfill construction for foundations and footings for buildings and structures.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning about the different methods for compacting fills for foundations
- Knowing the types of fill and when their use is applicable
- Knowing the methods and techniques used to construct foundations on compacted fills
- Learning about the different compaction requirements for fills and backfills
- Understanding the fundamentals of placing and controlling fill and backfill
- Learning how to accommodate and control fill settlement
- Learning about hydraulic fills and their application
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, "An Introduction to Foundations on Fill and Backfilling".

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on foundation exploration and testing procedures, analysis techniques, allowable criteria, design procedures, and construction consideration for the selection, design, and installation of sheet pile walls and flood walls. The guidance is based on the present state of the technology for sheet pile-soil-structure interaction behavior.
Since the understanding of the physical causes of sheet pile wall behavior is actively expanding by better definition through ongoing research, prototype, model sheet pile wall testing and development of more refined analytical models, this course is intended to provide examples and procedures of what has been proven successful.
This 5 PDH online course is applicable to geotechnical and structural engineers as well as design and construction personnel interested in understanding the construction techniques related to sheet pile wall behavior during installation.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the stratigraphy of the subgrade as well as its engineering geology characteristics
- Understanding current methodologies for evaluating system loads that govern the design of a sheet pile wall
- Evaluating failure modes and selecting certain system parameters to prevent failure
- Selecting criteria, procedures and parameters necessary for the structural design of sheet pile walls
- Understanding the behavior of the wall/soil system (interface interaction analysis)
- Understanding the various engineering considerations pertaining to the construction of sheet pile walls
- Understanding the special design considerations pertaining to the construction of sheet pile walls
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the US Corps of Engineers Publication EM 1110-2-2504, "Design of Sheet Pile Walls".

This engineering online PDH covers the basic guidelines and definitions regarding Emergency Action Plans (EAP) for dams.
To improve the Nation’s emergency preparedness and response capabilities, FEMA believes that formal guidelines are needed to help dam owners, in coordination with emergency management authorities, effectively develop and exercise Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) for dams. The purpose of the guidance in this course is to meet that need.
The EAP guidelines in this course are focused on developing or revising EAPs for dams that would likely cause loss of life or significant property damage as a result of a failure or other life-threatening incident. The areas downstream of each dam are unique. Therefore, the extent and degree of potential impacts of each dam vary.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to geotechnical and civil engineers, as well as other technical personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding in preparing and/or handling emergency action plans for dam safety.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the purpose, scope, coordination requirements, evacuation responsibilities, and maintenance of the EAP
- Familiarizing with the outline and contents of an EAP
- Understanding EAP responsibilities, notification flowcharts, response processes, and preparedness
- Learning about inundation maps
- Familiarizing with the notification flowchart, high flow notification table, and inundation map thru various examples
