S3: Slope Slides and Stabilization
One of the lead committees for this conference and software discussion held annually on the effective application of deep foundations, ground improvement, and soil mixing for stabilization of slopes and excavation support. Don’t miss the next S3 Conference!
S3 Software Discussions
DFI’s commitees on Deep Foundations for Landslides and Slope Stabilization and Anchored Earth Retention organize an annual software discussion on the effective application of deep foundations, ground improvement, and soil mixing for stabilization of slopes and excavation support.
