This training is for professional development, and the certificate obtained does not replace the MYK (Turkish Qualifications Framework) Authorization Certificate in mandatory training programs requiring an MYK certificate.

Training Objective

The Geotechnical Engineering Training equips participants with the ability to produce safe and economical solutions for infrastructure and superstructure projects. By conducting soil analyses, participants will acquire the competence to make critical decisions in project processes. Additionally, the training provides opportunities to convert theoretical knowledge into practice through field-based examples.

Training Content

• Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering and Basic Concepts
• Classification of soils, engineering properties, and their role in underground structures.
• Physical and Mechanical Properties of Soils
• Calculation of parameters such as water content, specific gravity, void ratio, and unit weight.
• Soil Classification Systems
• USCS (Unified Soil Classification System) and ASTM soil classifications.
• Water and Water Movement in Soils
• Permeability, capillary rise, groundwater effects, and drainage methods.
• Consolidation and Settlement Analysis
• Primary and secondary settlement, consolidation tests, and time-dependent displacement calculations.
• Shear Strength and Shear Resistance
• Strength parameters of soils, Mohr-Coulomb theory, triaxial and direct shear tests.
• Bearing Capacity Analysis
• Terzaghi, Meyerhof, and other classical bearing capacity theories; calculation methods for foundation systems.
• Soil Improvement Techniques
• Compaction, drainage, geotextile applications, jet grout, and stone column methods.
• Laboratory and Field Tests
• Application and interpretation of basic tests such as Proctor, CBR, SPT, CPT.
• Geotechnical Applications and Example Projects
• Practice in calculation, analysis, and reporting based on real projects.

This training is open to corporate collaboration (institution/company with legal entity), and individual applications are not accepted. The training content can be re-planned according to the corporate participant profile and needs. After mutual discussions, the scope and method of the training (face-to-face, online) will be determined, and the relevant processes will be completed. After mutual agreement, the suitable days and hours for the participants of your institution and our instructors will be determined, and the location of the training will be specified.
