Site Investigation

Description

Investigation of the site conditions is required prior to the start of any construction project to identify crucial information that will influence the design, construction, and environmental assessment of a proposed project. This webinar presents details of site exploration process and techniques used in a typical site investigation process including geophysical measurements, geotechnical drilling, sampling and field tests. An overview of selecting proper lab tests for specific site conditions along with geotechnical reporting will also be discussed.

Who should attend? This course would be beneficial to all construction, municipal and transportation practitioners and especially to those involved in the design, approval and maintenance of civil and environmental engineering projects and any other structural and construction systems. The course will be of value for those who are new to geotechnical engineering as well as to those who have experience with the geotechnical practice.   After participating in this course, you will be able to:
  • Understand the principles of geotechnical engineering, and identify issues and challenges associated with the design of geostructure systems.
  • Determine appropriate site exploration and laboratory characterization programs suitable for civil and environmental engineering projects.
  • Apply your comprehensive understanding of many of the basic concepts of geotechnical engineering to increase your effectiveness on your projects, and demonstrate your newly acquired skills in geotechnical engineering practice.
