This course is perfect for anyone looking to gain valuable skills in geotechnical numerical analysis. It is the first software-neutral e-learning course in this field and is aimed at novice users of the software in both academia and industry. Through 13 lectures structured in the normal sequence of setting up a geotechnical numerical model, from planning the analysis to reporting the results at the end, and 5 lectures on modelling structural elements, you will learn the decision-making process when setting up a geotechnical numerical model as well as how to add structural elements in soil-structure interaction problems appropriately. Videos with 3D graphics and a commentary by their tutor will help you understand the complex geometrical concepts. On completing this course, you will be able to prepare geotechnical numerical analyses more confidently and gain valuable skills in geotechnical numerical analysis.

This course introduces the complex field of Geotechnical Engineering, a crucial part of construction and design. Learn how to study rocks and earth, determine if a site is safe to build on, and what materials should be used to maintain a stable and safe worksite. Understand the roles of geotechnical engineers in various organizations, and the working conditions they may face. Gain a working knowledge of ocean engineering, structural engineering, petroleum engineering and material science. This course is perfect for those interested in a career in geotechnical engineering.
