The purpose of this course is to provide knowledge about principles, methods and applications of ground modification and soil Improvement in an easy to understand manner. Prior knowledge of soil mechanics and\/or engineering geology is recommended; however, any interested learner may attend the course.<\/p>\n
The course starts with an introduction to site conditions requiring ground modification and soil Improvement. Mechanical modification will cover shallow and deep compaction and properties of compacted soils. Hydraulic modification shall present dewatering, guidelines for design of wells, and preloading. Grouting at depth will be discussed to cover categories and materials of grouting. The course includes solved examples and exercises for enhanced understanding.<\/p>\n
Online support will be available throughout during the course.<\/p>\n
The course is presented through video tutorials and multimedia content within the Moodle virtual platform, with exercises like tests and practical cases.<\/p>\n
Ground modification and soil improvement plays a major role in case of both new and some existing projects. Through this course, the learner will have an opportunity to understand and be able to apply various techniques of ground modification and soil improvement.<\/p>\n
Ground modification and soil improvement is utilized in case of a large number of projects such as building foundations, roads, earth fills, embankments, earth and rock filled dams, and dykes.<\/p>\n
