What will I learn?
The Geomaterials Course gives you a clear, practical framework to identify, test, and select soils and rock for safe, durable roads and retaining walls. Learn how to classify local materials, design investigation programs, interpret lab and field tests, set realistic compaction and QC targets, manage frost, swelling, and erosion risks, and apply straightforward mitigation and documentation procedures on real projects.
