Understanding soil liquefaction is essential in numerous geotechnical projects, ranging from common buildings to road, bridge, and tailings dam projects. Therefore, it is crucial to examine and evaluate them with a safe approach tailored to the professional context. This course offers detailed guidance on how to conduct a soil liquefaction potential analysis, as well as mitigation measures for damage that could be caused by this phenomenon.
Addressed to
The course is aimed at civil engineers, construction technicians, students of related careers and industry professionals who wish to update or expand their knowledge in this area of geotechnics and geology.
Graduation profile
The graduate profile includes:
- Understanding the basic concepts of soil liquefaction, including the factors that influence this phenomenon, such as soil saturation, applied load, and soil structure.
- Ability to identify and assess the risks associated with soil liquefaction in different contexts, such as infrastructure construction, civil works or geotechnics.
- Ability to apply analytical methods and evaluation techniques to prevent, mitigate or remedy the effects of soil liquefaction in engineering projects.
