You are looking at a high-level training specially designed to lead you to success in the daily practice of your profession as an engineer" 

The postgraduate certificate in Geotechnical Behavior Models of Soils and Rocks 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 syllabus 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, walls, screens, tunnels…..

Likewise, during this postgraduate certificate, the study of the thrusts present in soil retaining structures and the structural analysis of how they behave under these loads will be addressed, there is a large part of this module that will refer to the displacements at the back of these elements. 

Surface settlement after the execution of these structures and lateral displacements of the structures together with the description of the elements involved in the design of bracing for deep excavations are points that are also addressed throughout thepostgraduate certificate.

The topics covered during this training end with an approach to the statistical calculation and the safety coefficients used in the calculations of these elements in both provisional and definitive stages. 

Therefore, the postgraduate certificate in Geotechnical Behavior Models of Soils and Rocksintegrates the most complete and innovative educational program in the current market in terms of knowledge and latest available technologies, in addition to encompassing all sectors or parties involved in this field. In addition, the postgraduate certificate consists of exercises based on real cases of situations currently managed or previously faced by the teaching team.

In-depth knowledge of geotechnical behavior models in soils and rocks is a highly demanded skill in today's business and professional environment"

A 100% online specialization that will allow you to combine your studies with the rest of your daily activities"

TECH has designed this complete postgraduate certificate with the aim of training engineering professionals to be able to design, implement and work in civil works, knowing in depth everything related to the geotechnical behavior of soils and rocks, and the technical and professional aspects at national and international level that directly affect it. To this end, specific aspects of the profession that stand out for their enormous importance in today's business landscape will be addressed, and for which large corporations are increasingly demanding competent engineers with a solid specialized training.

TECH pursues only one goal with its training: to catapult students towards professional success"

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

• Establish the main differences between dynamic and static characterization and behavior of soils and rocks
• Present the most important geotechnical parameters in both cases and their most commonly used constitutive relationships
• Detailed knowledge of the different behaviours of terrain and the most commonly used elastic and plastic models for all types of terrain
• Make a presentation of the most common stress cases in practice Soil behavior at different degrees of saturation, swelling and compaction in soils The fundamental principles of these constraints and their application throughout the development of ground dynamics and statics are the application parts and objectives for this module
• From the practical point of view, the objectives will be marked by the need to discern all the parameters, stresses, types of stresses and soil and rock concepts In the same way, which are for each of the cases, the constitutive models of the ground to be used depending on the characteristics of each one of the actions to be approached 

A training designed based on practical cases that will teach you how to act in real situations in the daily practice of your profession"
