With this Master Geotechnical Engineering, you can develop the necessary knowledge and skills to carry out geotechnical functions for new constructions. Learn about this professional activity and acquire the knowledge, skills, techniques, and competencies required to tackle activities in this field of expertise.
Learn the professional activity of geotechnics with this master
Now you can obtain a specialization in geotechnics and foundations through this master. These studies are part of the branch that analyzes and studies the impact of construction on terrains. All fields of study that directly affect the terrain are related to Geotechnics, making its importance significant.
With this master, you will develop the knowledge that allows you to implement the most suitable construction techniques for each project and terrain. Many disciplines also influence this activity. Each soil has different characteristics, depending on moisture, hardness, and material composition. Its study is essential for building constructions.
Different geotechnical problems arise when carrying out construction activities. With the appropriate knowledge, you can identify and address them in your projects. The following are some of the most common problems introduced in an introductory manner. If you want to specialize in this field, you can do so with the Master Geotechnical Engineering:
-
Loads: To apply loads on a terrain, leveling is necessary. This involves studying the terrain and creating certain elements such as retaining walls. Proper preparation of the terrain leads to the creation of load structures that are essential in construction.
-
Foundations: Any type of construction requires foundations for support on the terrain. The goal is to achieve support and distribute the load evenly along the terrain. The load distribution results in reduced deformities and better resistance over the years, facing climatic and natural conditions.
-
Structure: The structure contains the building, and when the terrain is used as part of the structure, a more specific study is required. The aim is to compact the soil, generating a foundation for subsequent construction. If the stability of the terrain is incorrect, it can lead to structural cracks. Moisture and water filtration problems are often encountered.
-
Material: Lastly, terrain can also have problems when used as construction material. To use it correctly, you must know its composition, compaction methods, and properties.
