Course 1: Quality
Assurance/Quality Control of Geosynthetics in Waste Containment Facilities
Recording Available |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Instructors: George Koerner Goal: This on-line course is focused on the quality assurance and quality control of geosynthetics as placed in permanent and/or critical applications. Specifications and testing are emphasized and demonstrated accordingly. It focuses on both the manufactured geosynthetics and on the installation processes. Applications are mainly in the waste containment area, i.e., landfills and surface impoundments, but applicability to ponds/reservoirs, canals, shale gas plays, coal combustion residuals, heap leach pads, etc., are also addressed. Included are the following presentations:
Course Benefits: The course provides the latest information on manufacturing and installation of all types of geosynthetics. It follows closely the U.S. EPA Technical Guidance Document (EPA/600R-93/18) of the same title as this course. Included are manufacturing QA and QC, as well as construction QA and QC. The course is very descriptive with numerous example situations, case histories and test methods/procedures. Power point slides of the entire course are provided. Professional Development Hours: This on-line course automatically warrants 8 PDH's. GSI Certification: If certification under the Geosynthetic Certification Institute-Inspectors Certification Program (GCI-ICP) is desired a separate registration and examination is required, see www.geosynthetic-institute.org/applications.htm or contact Jamie Koerner at jamie@geosynthetic-institute.org for details.

Course 2: Construction
Inspection of Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls, Berms and Slopes
Recording Available |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Instructors: Bob Koerner and George Koerner Goal: This on-line course is focused on the inspection, monitoring and maintenance of MSE walls, berms and slopes reinforced with geogrids and geotextiles. It is felt to be necessary due to the number of failures (excessive deformation and collapse) that have occurred. It focuses on all aspects of such situations. Included are the following presentations:
Course Benefits: This on-line course provides detailed construction aspects of MSE walls, berms and slopes with emphasis on inspection of all phases of the operation. Step-by-step construction aspects will be presented along with idiosyncrasies of the various geosynthetics and soil types used in the construction process. Monitoring during and after construction, as well as long-term maintenance procedures will be addressed as well. Laboratory testing of geosynthetic and soil test procedures will be described accordingly. Power point slides of the entire course are also provided. Professional Development Hours: This on-line course automatically warrants 8 PDH's. Course Registration Fee Pay Registration Fee

Course 3: Designing With Geosynthetics
Anytime: it is On-Demand Availability is for Six (6) months
Instructor: Bob Koerner
Goal: This on-line course is focused on the entirety of geosynthetic materials and their myriad applications. It precisely follows the 914-page, 6th-Edition, textbook "Designing With Geosynthetics" written by the instructor. Every figure, graph, table, example and more are reproduced but now with a voice-over so as to further emphasize the points raised in the book. Included are 1540 slides with approximately 18-hours of total voice-over. The contents are best appreciated when syncronized with a two-volume copy of the book (ebook for $7, softback $60 and hardback $80) so as to follow along with the power point slides and voice-overs. All three formats are available through Xlibris (the publisher), Amazon and Barnes and Noble and GSI (books only).
Just completed and now available, the total on-line "package" consists of the following:
GSI’s New On-Line, Distance Learning Course “Designing With Geosynthetics (DwG)” by Bob Koerner
Course Benefits: This course represents the equivalent of a full academic year of teaching geosynthetics, which the instructor has presented at Drexel University since the 1st Edition of the book in 1984. The exception, of course, is that it is not "live" but now "on-line" and "on-demand". Access to the course is for six-months after payment of the fee and the contents can be shared with co-workers or others within an organization. The course is particularly beneficial to graduating students entering geosynthetics and all new employees of geosynthetic-related organizations. It also acts as a primer for those interested in becoming certified as a geosynthetics designer.
Professional Development Hours: This on-line course automatically warrants 18 PDH's.
Targeted Audiences: Persons employed in the geosynthetics area from all perspectives; as well as facility owners, federal, state and regional transportation engineers and related personnel; engineers from municipal districts and townships; private and municipal land developers, consulting engineers and testing laboratories servicing these organizations and providing forensic services; manufacturers and representatives of geosynthetic materials; contractors and installers of geosynthetic materials; academic and research groups; and others desiring a holistic view of geosynthetics information on the critical aspects of transportation, geotechnical, mining and geosynthetic engineering systems.
GSI Certification: If certification under the Geosynthetic Certification Institute-Designers Certification Program (GCI-DCP) is desired a separate registration and examination is required, see www.geosynthetic-institute.org/gdcpappl.htm or contact Jamie Koerner at jamie@geosynthetic-institute.org for details.
