GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH GEOSYNTHETICS IN SOIL REINFORCEMENT
27/11/2019 - 28/11/2019
A two-day course to help understand and assess geosynthetics materials and design soil reinforcement structures (walls, steep slopes, embankments and pavement structure)
Course Outline
- Introduction to geosynthetics material for soil reinforcement
- Soil reinforcement principles
- Design of walls and steep slopes
- Design of embankments (soft soil, piles and sinkholes)
- Design of pavement structure
Benefits Include
- Participation in an interactive workshop
- Practical activities for assessing geosynthetics properties for soil reinforcement
- Design examples of design software (available free of charge)
- CPD Points
Who Should Attend
The course helps graduates apply their theoretical training in practice. It is therefore recommended for:
- Staff working in the industry with very little experience or who are about to become involved in designing of soil reinforcement structures
- Candidate engineers, technologists and technicians
- Experienced personnel looking for a refresher course in geosynthetics in soil reinforcement
