Course description

Please Note: this course is only offered in odd-numbered years (eg. 2019). The geotechnical engineer is frequently faced with the problem that the foundation does not possess the mechanical or hydraulic requirements to support a building or infrastructure. The course will cover the identification, design and implementation of various ground improvement methods, including: 1) characterisation of poor ground conditions requiring improvement; 2) methods for in situ compaction of the ground; 3) types of displacement piles, 4) soil injection techniques; 5) soil additives; and 6) the application of geotextiles.
