Laboratory testing of soils is an essential part of geotechnical projects. A laboratory test program is required to assess, select, and test soil specimens collected during field investigation to provide soil index and performance properties for design and construction.
This course, as a part of the soil mechanics series, covers basics and standards in soil laboratory testing. This course is applicable to geotechnical, civil, mining, structural, and environmental engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the planning, design, and construction of building structures that utilize soils.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Principles and precautions in soil laboratory testing
- Basics, standards and state-of-practices in soil laboratory testing
- Fundamentals and set-ups for soil index and performance property tests
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 40 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
