Course Title: How to Read a Geotechnical Report
Delivery Method: Live Online
Course Description: This course examines the purpose of geotechnical reports to design professionals, how subsurface field investigations are conducted to determine soil conditions and groundwater conditions, and bearing capacities are determined for foundations and slab on grade.
