Courses In This Subject
- Enhanced In-Situ Testing for Geotechnical Analyses and Foundation Design (CIVE 2001P)—
Understand the various types of in-situ geotechnical tests and geophysical methods, with emphasis on the utilization of the expedient SCPTu (and related SDMTa) for efficient collection of site-specific data for geotechnical investigations.
- Geotechnical Foundation Systems (CIVE 2004P)—
Understand the fundamentals of foundation analysis procedures for bearing capacity, displacement evaluation, and relevance of site-specific geotechnical test data, primarily from in-situ tests. Learn the standard methods for evaluation of performance for shallow and deep foundation systems.
- Seismic Site Characterization and Geotechnical Earthquake Hazards (CIVE 2003P)—Gain a comprehensive overview of overview of dynamic soil properties, site response analyses, and liquefaction evaluation techniques for geotechnical earthquake engineering analyses.
