What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills in evaluating soil properties, analysing site investigations, and designing secure shallow foundations. Master slope stability techniques, groundwater and pore pressure impacts, bearing capacity computations, settlement predictions, and soil stabilisation strategies. Conclude with effective reporting, risk assessment, and practical checklists for immediate use on projects.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Apply Bishop, Janbu, and Fellenius methods manually for slope stability design.
- Plan site investigations by choosing tests, logging boreholes, and evaluating soil profiles.
- Design shallow footings by determining sizes, verifying bearing capacity, and forecasting settlement.
- Select soil parameters from SPT/CPT data, lab tests, and charts for design purposes.
- Prepare geotechnical reports outlining assumptions, risks, and needs for additional investigations.
