Workshop on Unsaturated Soil Mechanics for Practicing Engineers
Mon 2 Jul 2018 - Tue 3 Jul 2018
The aim of these workshops is to enhance the capabilities of practicing engineers when applying soil mechanics, analysing data and solving problems involving unsaturated soils. The workshops will be delivered by experts on unsaturated soils from UNSW’s Centre for Infrastructure Engineering and Safety. Unsaturated soils are widely encountered and need to be dealt with in More Information…
GIS for Geotechs
Thu 9 Aug 2018
Empowering geotechnical practitioners with geographic information systems The Australian Geomechanics Society is offering a new short course that is an introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with a focus on geotechnical applications. All geotechnical investigations have significant spatial components and GIS software is an appropriate and powerful tool for bringing diverse data sources together to More Information…
