Course Content
|
Soil improvement is an alternative considered when the natural soil does not meet the engineering requirements for a project. This course includes basic information about soil improvement techniques such as surface compaction, additive stabilization, deep compaction, vertical drains, lightweight fills, vibratory compaction, dynamic compaction, stone columns, deep mixing, jet grouting, MSE walls, reinforced slopes and soil nails. The course aligns with doctorate level studies by offering a comprehensive understanding of advanced soil improvement techniques, equipping students with the knowledge to address complex geotechnical challenges and innovate in ground engineering solutions.
