Only with proper training will the engineer be able to grow in their career and position themselves as a prestigious professional" 

The postgraduate certificate in Seismicity Mechanics of the Continuous Medium and Constitutive Models Applied to Geotechnical Engineering is academically designed to provide a deep knowledge, starting from 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.  

During the training, one of the most significant and most influential aspects in the calculation of structural elements, which involves an increase in stress and the need to make technical and design modifications in elements to be built, is the presence of seismic disturbances, as a change in the mechanics of the continuous soil.  

Seismic disturbances represent one of the major drawbacks for structures that every professional must consider, both in design and construction. The dynamic response of the ground and its interface with the structure, as well as the damage that may occur to structural and nonstructural elements, depend not only on the characteristics of the seismic action, but also on the behavior of the entire structural system. 

For all these reasons, the postgraduate certificate in Seismicity Mechanics of the Continuous Medium and Constitutive Models Applied to Geotechnics integrates the most complete and innovative educational program in the current market in terms of knowledge and latest available technologies, as well as encompassing all the 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. 

All this, along a 100% online training that provides the student with the ease of being able to take it wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access, and you will be able to access a universe of knowledge that will be the main asset of the engineer when positioning themselves in a sector that is increasingly in demand by companies in various sectors.

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

• Identify the effects induced in the ground by seismic action, as part of the non-linear behavior of the ground
• Deepen in the particularities of the terrain, discretizing between soils and rocks, and of the instantaneous behavior under seismic loads
• Analyze the most important regulations in the field of seismic, especially in areas of the planet where earthquakes are frequent and of significant magnitude
• Analyze the changes that the seismic action produces in the identifying parameters of the terrain and to observe how they evolve depending on the type of seismic action
• Delve into the different practical methodologies for the analysis of ground behavior under seismic conditions Both semi-empirical simulations as well as complex finite element modeling
• Quantify the impact of seismic disturbances on foundations, both in terms of their definition in the design and final sizing.
• Apply all a these conditions to both shallow and deep foundations
• Perform a sensitivity analysis of the above-mentioned behaviors in containment structures and in the most common elements of subway excavations
• Apply the study of seismic wave disturbances to other elements that can propagate along the ground, such as the study of noise and vibration transmission in the ground

A unique, key and decisive training experience to boost your professional development"
