Course Content
implementation principles and related regulations, examples of reinforced soil structure. Of soils and geosynthetics. Analysis methods. In the construction of embankments on loose ground. Reinforced foundation pads. Transport routes. Retaining structures. Landfill engineering parallel-surface layer of reinforcing layer systems. Linear carriers or point elements on the construction of reinforced soil structure. Geosynthetic materials are protected by a basic system that uses column. Bridging the risk of collapse in areas with overhead systems. Dynamic effects of geosynthetic reinforced systems.
Objectives of the Course
To design and implement the most appropriate geomechanical and geosynthetic materials for the purpose of enabling the construction of more economical and long-lasting structures that are not suitable for the desired structure or increasing the availability level.
