Geotechnical slope projects are on the rise, and acquiring the skills to operate successfully in this sector is a highly disruptive skill in an ever-growing industry"

The postgraduate certificate in Slope Analysis and Stability is academically designed to provide in-depth knowledge, based on advanced concepts already acquired in the world of civil engineering and from a practical application point of view, of the most important geotechnical aspects that can be found in different types of civil works.  

The content ranges from the specific behavior of soils and rocks, with a constant differentiation of both types of terrain throughout all the Topics, to their direct application in foundations and structures.

The postgraduate certificate, has a thematic that mixes some of them with more applied theoretical load (such as those related to the models of ground behavior, the necessary requirements for a good identification of soils and rocks or the interaction of the ground with seismic disturbances), with others with eminent component of practical analysis, where the knowledge acquired on the behavior of the ground and its stress-strain states of this first part, are applied to the usual structures of geotechnical engineering: slopes, walls, screens, tunnels... 

The postgraduate certificate, besides standing out the differences in the behavior of slopes in rocks and soils, analyzes the different elements that influence their behavior, the treatment of geological data to be obtained and observes the necessary analyses for a correct knowledge of the components and behavior of slopes.  

But beyond simple modeling, slopes have a series of associated processes, such as their protection as temporary or long-term works and their most common practical uses, which will be the subject of the topics of this module.  

In short, the postgraduate certificate in Slope Analysis and Stability integrates the most complete and innovative educational program in the current market in terms of knowledge and latest available technologies, in addition to encompassing all the sectors or parties involved in this field. The program is also made up of exercises based on real cases of situations currently managed or previously faced by the teaching team. 

All this, throughout a 100% online training that provides the student with the ease of being able to take it wherever and whenever they want. You will only need a device with internet access, and you will be able to access a universe of knowledge that will be the main basis for engineers to position themselves in a sector that is increasingly demanded by companies in various sectors.

With this program, TECH has only one goal: to help you grow in your profession and become a prestigious engineer"

General Objectives

• Delve deeper into kinds of grounds, not only in their typology but also in their behavior Not only in the evident differentiation of stresses and deformations of soils and rocks, but also under particular but very common conditions, such as the presence of water or seismic disturbances
• Efficiently recognize the needs for soil characterization, being able to design campaigns with the optimal means for each type of structure, optimizing and giving added value to the study of materials
• Identify the behavior of slopes and semi-subterranean structures such as foundations or walls in their different typologies This complete identification must be based on understanding and being able to anticipate the behavior of the terrain, the structure and its interface 
• Know in detail the possible faults that each set can produce and as a consequence have a deep understanding of the repair operations or improvement of materials to mitigate damage
• Receive a complete tour of tunnel and gallery excavation methodologies, analyzing all drilling procedures, design constraints, support and lining

Specific Objectives

• Determine, for soils and rocks, the stability conditions and behavior of slopes, whether it is stable or unstable, and the stability margin
• Define the loads to which each part of the slope is subjected , and the operations that can be carried out on them
• Investigate the potential mechanisms of slope failure , and the analysis of practical cases of this type of failure
• Determine the sensitivity or susceptibility of slopes to different mechanisms or triggering factors, including external effects such as the presence of water, the effect of rainfall, earthquakes, etc.
• Compare the effectiveness of different remediation or stabilization options and their effect on slope stability
• Learn more about the different options for improving and protecting slopes, from the point of view of structural stability and the conditions to which they may be subjected during their service life
• Design optimal slopes in terms of safety, reliability and economy
• Review the application of slopes in hydraulic works as a major part of the design and use of major slopes
• Detail the calculation methodologies associated with finite elements currently in use for the design of this type of elements  

A training program designed through practical cases that will teach you how to act in real situation in daily practice in your profession”
