Course I: This course addresses problems like slope stability in soils, waste dumps and rock masses, foundations, retaining structures, construction procedures for ground-structure interaction problems, underground engineering and tunnels. It was successfully delivered first in 2019 to a large group of geo-professionals from 8 countries (online), and to students, faculty and consultants in SRK’s Buenos Aires lecture room. Participants enjoyed 30 hours of theory and 64 hours of hands-on training in numerical modeling. This course will next be offered online starting August 21, 2020. Please see below for registration info.
Course II: The second course covers embankments, dams and tailings dams, and seismic analysis of dams (drained) and tailings dams (undrained – liquefaction). This course was offered online in early 2020. Due to COVID-19, it was held exclusively online. Students from most countries in Latin America attended and used Microsoft Azure computers for their hands-on training. The final assignment was the complete seismic analysis of a CFRD Dam, a real case history from Costa Rica. New dates for this course have not yet been announced.
Instructors: Dr. Alejo O. Sfriso, Mauro Sottile, MSc, Dr. Nicolas Labanda, Dr. Felipe López Rivarola, and Ignacio Cueto.
