What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to identifying, testing, and selecting soils and rocks for building safe and long-lasting roads and retaining walls. You will learn to classify local materials, plan investigations, analyse lab and field tests, establish compaction and quality control standards, handle risks from frost, swelling, and erosion, and implement simple mitigation and documentation methods on actual projects.
