What will I learn?
This course builds practical expertise in evaluating soil properties, analysing site investigations, and designing secure shallow foundations. You will master slope stability techniques, impacts of groundwater and pore pressure, bearing capacity computations, settlement predictions, and soil stabilisation strategies. Conclude with effective reporting, risk assessment, and practical checklists ready for immediate use in real engineering projects.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Slope stability design: apply Bishop, Janbu, and Fellenius methods by hand.
- Site investigation planning: select tests, log boreholes, and assess soil profiles.
- Shallow footing design: size footings, check bearing capacity, and predict settlement.
- Soil parameter selection: derive design values from SPT/CPT, lab tests, and charts.
- Geotechnical reporting: document assumptions, risks, and further investigation needs.
