CalGEO Emerging Geoprofessionals  Meeting

CalGEO Emerging Geoprofessionals Presents:

Introduction to Temporary Shoring
Erik Dahl, P.E.

Engineer / Project Manager, Sacramento Drilling

ABSTRACT

What is shoring?  What is the difference between temporary shoring and a permanent retaining structure?  My project requires a deep excavation, do I need shoring and if so, what type(s) do I choose and why?  Ok, I know shoring is required, but how do I approach the design?

Temporary Shoring and Retaining Structure design is an important tool for any geotechnical or design professional working with grade differentials when sloping is not feasible, but it is also a topic that is under-taught, often covered in a single class or sometimes not at all.  This presentation will cover the different types of retaining structures, the components, terminology, construction methods and design methodologies.
