What will I learn?
This Geomaterials Course offers a practical guide to identifying, testing, and choosing soils and rocks for building strong, lasting roads and retaining walls. You will master classifying local materials, planning site investigations, analysing lab and field test results, establishing compaction and quality control standards, handling risks from frost, swelling, and erosion, and implementing simple mitigation and documentation methods on actual projects.
