Thanks to this very complete postgraduate certificate you will learn about the most significant characteristics of Superficial Foundations and you will grow in your profession" 

The postgraduate certificate in Superficial Foundations 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. 

This TECH postgraduate certificate is dedicated to shallow foundations, which aim at the technical deepening of the aspects involved in the design and behavior of these elements. 

Surface foundations are well known elements, especially because they are the most common typology chosen to solve the structure-ground contact. For this reason, this module does not deal with basic aspects of these elements, which should already be known by the student, but with more in-depth aspects, such as the evolution of displacements and stresses depending on the type of elements to be used. 

This postgraduate certificate in Superficial Foundations 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. 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, through a 100% online specialization 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.

Apply the latest advances in this field and give your curriculum a boost of value thanks to this very complete postgraduate certificate from TECH"

This postgraduate certificate in Superficial Foundations is the most comprehensive and up-to-date educational program on the market. The most important features of the specialization are:

• The development of practical cases presented in Courses in Civil and Geotechnical Engineering
• The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the course, discussion forums on controversial issues and individual reflection papers
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

You will be provided with innovative teaching materials and resources that will facilitate the learning process and the retention of the contents learned for a longer period of time"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

Its Multimedia Content, elaborated with the latest Educational Technology, will allow the Professional a situated and contextual learning, that is to say, a Simulated Environment that will provide an immersive specialization programmed to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year. For this purpose, the professional will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced engineers. 

Take advantage of the latest educational technology to get up-to-date in Superficial Foundations without leaving home"

This 100% online postgraduate certificate will allow you to combine your studies with your professional work. You choose where and when to train"

TECH has designed this 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 characteristics of the land on which you want to act, the characteristics of the same, its current state, or its expected long-term behavior. 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 specializations: to catapult students toward 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

• In-depth knowledge of the conditioning factors that influence the design and behavior of shallow foundations
• Analyze the trends in the different international design standards, contemplating their differences in terms of criteria and the different safety coefficients used
• Recognize the different actions present in shallow foundations, both those that require and those that contribute to the stability of the element
• Establish a sensitivity analysis of the behavior of the foundations in the evolution of this type of loads
• Identify the different types of improvement of foundations already in use, classifying them according to the type of foundation, the soil on which it is located and the age at which it was built 
• Break down, in a comparative way, the costs of the use of this type of foundations and their influence on the rest of the structure 
• Identify the most common types of surface foundation failures and their most effective corrective measures

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