This paper presents the creation of a course as part of the Open Course Ware (OCW) project. It shows a general overview of the process and serves as reference for other similar cases. The creation of this instructional material followed the ADDIE model. So, the context of the course and the OCW project are introduced first, studying the limitations of OCW sites as virtual learning environments (VLE). In second place, the design, development and implementation are detailed. Finally, the paper shows the framework to evaluate this instructional material, based on surveys and statistics of website traffic.

A new analytical solution that includes these elastic strains is presented to study the deformation and consolidation around encased stone columns, which are a common ground improvement technique for soft soils. The analytical solution models only a unit cell, i.e. an end-bearing column and its surrounding soil, in axial symmetry under a rigid and uniform load. The soft soil is treated as an elastic material and the column as an elastic-perfect plastic material using the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion and a non-associated flow rule, with a constant dilatancy angle. The solution is presented in a closed form and is directly usable in a spreadsheet. The elastic strains during plastic deformation of the column are added as an extension of a previous solution by the authors. This inclusion complicates the formulation of the analytical solution. The differences with the previous solution, and therefore, those elastic strains, are important only for high encasement stiffnesses. The analytical solution is used to study the encasement length. The presented approach, which considers soil consolidation, is compared with a loading process in drained conditions. Numerical analyses are included for validation.
