Masters in Retaining system design 1

[Dhoon]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a Master program or 1-2 year special program for retaining system design. Is there any university offer these type of courses ?

I'm not sure if there are specific masters programs for retaining systems. When I was in graduate school I took geotech courses in these subjects.

Some places like Colorado School of Mines have tunnel/shaft graduate programs, but I don't know if anyone has a straight earth retention program. Try finding a school where one of the profs is prominent in the field and start there.

I have studied basic courses about retaining system during my grad school. looking for some prof or professional courses which offers training in live projects.

ASCE offers an LRFD course on retaining wall design, usually taught by Jerry DiMaggio (ex-FHWA).

If you want training in live projects, try getting an internship with a design/build contractor or one of the consulting firms specializing in this type of work.
