uWIN - University Continuing Education intensive
Practical Laboratory Course for Geotechnical Engineering
The Practical Course for Geotechnical Engineering provides hands-on training in conducting and evaluating standard geotechnical laboratory tests, such as grain size distribution, consistency limits, soil identification and classification, as well as Proctor and shear tests. After a theoretical introduction, participants receive raw data from actual laboratory tests and analyze them independently. The focus is on both theoretical foundations and practical application.
