2 hrs. Webinar
Level: Advanced
Item#: RV-W121019
SME: Alfredo Cely, P.E., MSEM
- Based on a review of landforms within a project area, develop an area concept for explorations that provides soil foundational information to support public welfare
- After reviewing an existing project site, determine the most suitable geotechnical boring method to carry out subsurface explorations that will safeguard the environment
- Describe at least three types of sampling methods used in subsurface explorations that provide insight into the strength of soils to preserve the safety of the public
- Identify at least three different observations that can be made during rock core drilling that can provide insight into the strength of rock strata.
