The Wave Equation Workshop (GRL WEAP) will allow participants to understand how the WEAP software can be utilized to determine the bearing values for structures during construction, and prepare for the move away from the use of the Engineering News Record Formula by the Iowa DOT as part of the move to LRFD structural design.
This workshop is designed for geotechnical, structural and construction engineers, contractors, researchers and students interested in an introduction or a refresher to the GRL WEAP software for pile driving simulation and analysis. A portion of the workshop is devoted to the theory of the wave equation.
This workshop will feature the use of the laptop computers for the demonstration of the software using ideas from your own counties as sample input if you desire. The size of the class is limited to 30 persons due to the amount of available computers and software security issues.
The course is being designed as a one day course held at the Country Inn & Suites. Registration at 8 am and closing by 5 pm. Lunch and break refreshments are included in the conference fee.
