2 DAYS SEMINAR ON GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

Date    :  1 - 2 November 2011

Time    :  8.30 am – 5.30 pm

Venue  :  Penang Skills Development Centre (PSDC)

Synopsis

Geotechnical engineering always is an important element in civil engineering works. With proper understanding in geotechnical engineering, an engineer will be able to provide practical and safe design on foundation, slope stability, retaining wall and ground improvement. Therefore, this seminar is aimed to provide a platform to the members to have better understanding on the following subjects (from planning to design and to construction):

a) *Subsurface investigation (SI) works
b) *Slope stability
c) *Grouting and Cement Mixing method
d) *Design of embedded retaining wall for deep excavation
e) *Geosynthetic application in civil engineering g)
f) *In-situ testing and instrumentation
g) *Soil nailing
h) *Pile foundation : Driven piles, Jack in piles, micropile, caisson and
testing
i) *Embankment design and ground improvement
