INSTRUCTOR:
Jairo Yepes-Heredia, Ph.D., P.E., M.ASCE
Purpose and Background
In the practice of civil engineering, one fundamental step is the laboratory testing for measurement of geomechanical properties, and their direct influence in the postconstruction behavior of structures. The selection of laboratory tests to perform for a specific project depend on variables like time, geomaterial type, project size and importance, preparation of personnel, and availability of laboratories equipment. This presentation will explain an update on the laboratory options to measure geomechanical properties in the laboratory, simple to thorough, conservative to the efficient, boundary conditions-assumptions-limitations, state of the art.
Benefits and Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Identify the direct consequences of all the laboratory options to design and build structures.
- Describe the decision-making process for laboratory testing as a function of the availability of field samples, personnel, and laboratory equipment.
- Explain technical-experimental-empirical-theoretical skills that will allow the learner to finish more efficient designs, particularly for challenging projects.
Who Should Attend?
- Civil engineer
- Geological engineer
