What will I learn?

This course offers a practical guide to identifying, testing, and choosing soils and rocks for building safe and long-lasting roads and retaining walls. You will master classifying local materials, planning site investigations, analysing laboratory and field test results, establishing achievable compaction and quality control standards, handling risks from frost, swelling, and erosion, and implementing simple mitigation strategies and documentation on actual construction sites.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Conduct field tests on geomaterials using CBR, Proctor, and SPT methods to obtain accurate design information swiftly.
  • Classify soils and rocks accurately with USCS, Atterberg limits, and particle gradation analysis for engineering designs.
  • Select appropriate materials for roads and retaining walls based on defined test criteria and performance thresholds.
  • Control geomaterial risks effectively by addressing swelling, frost action, erosion, and weak subgrades during construction.
  • Implement quality control in geomaterial construction by defining specifications, performing field tests, and approving work efficiently.
