COURSE OVERVIEW

practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of GeoTechnical Survey and Data Analysis. It covers the scope of geotechnical engineering and the importance of geotechnical surveys in construction; the soil formation processes, soil types and properties and the significance of soil classification in geotechnical analysis; the field exploration techniques and the tools and equipment used in geotechnical survey; the subsurface conditions assessment, geotechnical reporting essentials and laboratory testing of soils; the shear strength testing, soil permeability and hydraulic conductivity; the rock mechanics and classification; and the in-situ testing methods, data acquisition and management.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the soil-structure interaction, slope stability analysis and ground improvement techniques; the seismic geotechnical analysis, foundation design principles and numerical modeling in geotechnical analysis; the geotechnical hazards identification and groundwater and drainage control; the pavement subgrade and embankment design and geotechnical considerations in urban development; the project integration and collaboration, quality assurance in geotechnical surveys and geotechnical survey planning; the data visualization and reporting; and the environmental and legal considerations.
