Upcoming events
2025-26 Alberta Government and Canadian Dam Association Dam Safety Technical Webinar Series
In partnership with the Canadian Dam Association, Alberta’s government organized the 5th annual technical webinar series highlighting practical applications and case studies of evolving dam safety practices and advanced technologies for water dams. This series is intended for dam owners, engineers, engineering technologists, operators and regulators who are interested in learning from the experiences of other professionals.
Fundamentals of Soil Mechanics for Earthfill Dam Designs – Webinar (2 parts)
Earthfill dams are constructed of and founded on natural ground with inherent variability and uncertainty. Soil mechanics fundamentals during design are key to effectively manage geotechnical risks. This 2-part webinar aims to serve as a refresher for geotechnical engineers and an introduction to professionals practicing within other engineering disciplines on the application of basic soil mechanics in earthfill dam design and dam safety.
Presenter:
- Dennis E. Becker, Ph.D., P.Eng., FEIC, FCAE
March 25, 2026 – Part 1: Site Geotechnical Characterization and Basic Soil Mechanics
April 8, 2026 – Part 2: Basic Design Cross-Sections and Geotechnical Design Approaches
