Develop your understanding of the structural design process and geotechnical concepts that will help you work effectively with engineers and other consultants. 

The course includes two components: sub-structure and super-structure. The emphasis of the super-structure sessions is to familiarise you with analysis and design of structures. The sub-structure component includes basic geo-mechanics concepts, site investigation, retaining walls, slope instability, site issues related to footing design, ground improvement, and road pavement design.
