What will I learn?
This course equips you with practical skills to evaluate soil properties, analyse site investigations, and design secure shallow foundations. You will study slope stability techniques, groundwater and pore pressure influences, bearing capacity computations, settlement predictions, and stabilisation strategies. Conclude with effective reporting methods, risk assessments, and checklists ready for immediate use on actual projects.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Slope stability design: implement Bishop, Janbu, and Fellenius methods manually.
- Site investigation planning: choose appropriate tests, record boreholes, and evaluate soil profiles.
- Shallow footing design: determine footing dimensions, verify bearing capacity, and forecast settlement.
- Soil parameter selection: obtain design parameters from SPT/CPT data, laboratory tests, and reference charts.
- Geotechnical reporting: record assumptions, identify risks, and specify requirements for additional investigations.

Your lessons are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow several topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to others...
