What is this course all about?

Geotechnical Engineering is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials. It uses the principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics for the solution of its respective engineering problems. It also relies on knowledge of geology, hydrology, geophysics, and other related sciences. Geotechnical (rock) engineering is a subdiscipline of geological engineering.

In addition to civil engineering, geotechnical engineering also has applications in military, mining, petroleum, coastal engineering, and offshore construction.

This course starts from the basics of Geotech and will guide, and take you to the intermediate and advanced levels.

For better understanding case studies are also considered and explained in detail. It contains all the important concepts you need to excel in your careers such as Soil Classifications, Applications, Consolidation, Strength Of Soil, Methodologies Of Slope Protection And Repairs, Concepts Of Landslides, Overview Of Geosynthetics And Its Applications, Slope stability analysis, Structural Design of Foundation & Retaining Structures, Tunneling concepts, foundation design, and analysis, etc.

This course is designed and delivered by industry experts who did Ph.D. and have industry experience. You can kickstart your Geotechnical engineering journey wherein we take you Step through Step concepts and practical challenges on site.

This course is a perfect hand-holding companion which guides you through various Geotechnical concepts, challenges on-site, and solutions. Care is taken to start on a very basic level, and progress with complicated Techniques. you will Learn not only theoretical, and technical knowledge but also how it's applicable in practical on-site situations.

Real-life applications and examples were included in this course so, you will be able to directly work also in any company/industry. To check the understanding level quizzes were provided at the end of every section. No matter whether you are a Beginner, Intermediate, or in an Advance level candidate this course teaches you everything and clears your doubts.
