Buildings & Civils - Geotechnical - Develop Conceptual Ground Models

Course Description

<p>This eLearning forms part of the Geotechnics Training Programme focusing on Retaining Walls. This module provides an overview of different types of<br /> retaining walls and their failure modes.<br /> The content will not give detailed guidance on structural inspections but will provide basic information and signpost relevant documents and standards.&nbsp;<br /> It also provides an understanding of the principles of retaining wall design, but it does not on its own lead to competence in designing a retaining wall or signing off a design done by others.</p>

Buildings & Civils - Geotechnical - RSHI: Introduction & Principles

Course Description

<p>The Rock Slope Hazard Index (RSHI): Introduction and Principles module is pre-learning to the face to face RSHI course and one of four modules looking specifically at rock slope examinations using the RSHI. The RSHI is one of the examinations covered within the NR/L3/CIV/065 standard. In this introductory section we explain when an RSHI should be applied within the wider context of earthwork examinations. Later sections provide instruction and training on the types of data collected as part of the RSHI.</p>

Audience
