The land on which structures are built exhibits variations in its load-bearing characteristics, necessitating testing for long-term performance. Therefore, the science of geotechnical studies has assumed great importance in evaluating actual versus designed performance.
This course introduces instruments and methods used in geotechnical analysis, discusses the processing, presentation, and interpretation of monitoring data, procedures for forensic geotechnical investigation, and techniques for ground improvement through case studies. It also explores the usage of these instruments in studying the behavior of structural elements.
Explore the full range of instruments used to monitor various types of construction
Learn the application of instruments for geotechnical and structural monitoring
Enhance the students capability on the stability of the design vis-a-vis the ground conditions on which the construction is taking place
