Soil Exploration Brochure

The course will be held virtually every Friday and Saturday evening from July 2nd to August 7th 2021. It will cover various soil exploration techniques including standard penetration testing, cone penetration testing, pressuremeter testing, geophysical methods, plate load testing, field vane shear testing, ground penetration radar, and pile load testing. The course aims to help participants understand soil characteristics and behavior for foundation design of civil engineering structures. Registration is free and an e-certificate will be provided to those who attend 75% of lectures and complete an assessment.

Objectives of SC 7:

A Short Course Identify the role of student chapters, and guide the establishment of student chapters in
different colleges, develop plans for programs on continuing education such as short
courses and workshops, etc.

Soil Exploration:
Soil is a natural and very heterogeneous material, which demonstrates different
Soil Exploration characteristics spatially as well as with depth. All the Civil Engineering Structures shall
base their foundations on soils. The stability of all these structures completely relies on the
characteristics of soils encountered. Hence, it is of utmost necessity to understand the soils
02.07.2021 to 07.08.2021 and their engineering behavior. A required type of foundation and properties of foundation
soils are necessary to estimate the project's cost. A reconnaissance survey and detailed soil
Every Friday & Saturday exploration would definitely answer these questions. Soil exploration can be destructive
and/or non-destructive and definitely will vary from shallow to deep exploration. The
6.00 – 7.00PM accuracy of the soil properties and parameters depends on the accuracy of soil exploration
methods. This short course will cover various soil exploration techniques and
interpretation of soil characteristics warranted for different important structures from the
Organized by field perspective. This course covers the following techniques:

1) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) 2) Cone penetration Test (CPT)


3) Pressuremeter Test (PMT) 4) Geophysical Methods
5) Plate load test 6) Field Vane shear test
7) Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) 8) Pile load tests
