Geotechnical Applications

This is a geotechnical engineering subject in which students will be introduced to various geotechnical engineering application topics, including the design of pile foundations, tunnels and earth dams, basics of rock mechanics, rock slope stability assessment and site characterisation. This subject is of particular interest to students intending to establish a career in geotechnical engineering; it is also relevant to a range of engineering disciplines in which a good knowledge of geotechnical engineering offers an advantage, such as structural engineering.
