Slope stability is present in a large part of geotechnical works such as natural cuts, embankments and excavations. For this reason, they must be studied and evaluated from a safe perspective and applied to the professional field. This course explains how to approach a slope study according to the type of soil in terms of static and pseudo-static stability.
Addressed to
The course is aimed at civil engineers, construction technicians, undergraduate students and industry professionals who wish to update or expand their knowledge in this area of geotechnics and geology. The candidate must have basic knowledge of Soil Mechanics.
Graduate profile
The course of “Soil slope stability analysis” It will train and provide the student with the fundamental principles of analysis and calculations of landslides or failures on soil slopes. Therefore, you will develop skills such as:
- Identify potential failure surfaces according to the type of soil.
- Identify the different types of slope failure.
- Resolver cálculos simplificados y preliminares para hallar el factor de seguridad (Excel y Midas SoilWorks).
- Understand the most common methods used for slope analysis.
- Understand how anchors work to stabilize slopes.
