What will I learn?
The Basics of Soil Mechanics Course equips you with practical skills to evaluate sites, record soil profiles, and grasp groundwater behaviour for small-scale buildings. You will learn to calculate bearing capacity, settlement, and permeability through straightforward manual tests, standard property values, and straightforward assumptions. Create simple drawings and soil reports that back safe shallow foundations and better construction choices on actual sites.
