This course is aimed to present and discuss site investigation and most used in situ tests, as well ground parameter selection for geotechnical projects. It is backed by over 50-year experience in Europe, Far-East, North and South America.

Who should attend?

The course is tailored to engineers, geologists, geotechnical technicians and students interested in site investigation. The course includes discussions on geotechnical boreholes, SPT testing, soil and rock sampling, sample quality, and SPT correlations. The second part addresses CPTU testing, equipment, tip resistance, friction and pore-pressure measurements, and how to process and analyze the data.
