Professional Certificate of Competency in Geotechnical Monitoring and Structural Instrumentation

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.
