SE0072 : Geotechnical Engineering & Soil Analysis

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies 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 Engineering & Soil Analysis. It covers the geotechnical engineering, soil formation, geology and engineering behavior; the soil composition, structure and phase relationships; the soil classification and identification, index properties, consistency soils and soil sampling; the site investigation, laboratory soil testing and quality control; and the particle size and graduation analysis including soil compaction principles and testing.
Further, the course will also discuss the field compaction control, earthworks, soil permeability and seepage; the groundwater and effective stress, stress distribution in soil and shear strength of soils; the direct shear and triaxial testing, consolidation and compressibility; the settlement analysis, practical soil strength and settlement evaluation; and the in-situ geotechnical testing, bearing capacity of soils and shallow foundation engineering.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the deep foundations and pile behavior, slope stability, soil failure and earth retaining structures; the problematic soils, ground conditions and ground improvement techniques; the soil stabilization and reinforcement and geotechnical analysis for excavations and construction; and the geotechnical reports and engineering interpretation.
