What will I learn?
This Geomaterials Course provides a clear, practical framework for identifying, testing, and selecting soils and rocks to ensure safe, durable roads and retaining walls. You will learn to classify local materials, design investigation programmes, interpret laboratory and field tests, establish realistic compaction and quality control targets, manage risks from frost, swelling, and erosion, and implement straightforward mitigation and documentation procedures on actual projects.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Geomaterial field testing: apply CBR, Proctor, and SPT for fast, reliable design data.
- Soil and rock classification: use USCS, Atterberg limits, and gradation for design.
- Road and wall material selection: choose fills and backfills from clear test thresholds.
- Geomaterial risk control: mitigate swelling, frost, erosion, and soft subgrades on site.
- Construction QC for geomaterials: set specs, run field tests, and approve work quickly.
