About the course
Participants will be introduced to the different slide mechanisms, the conditions of their occurrence, the theories and principles governing stability of slopes. It will also cover the selection, design and performance of earth retention structures, consequently equipping participants with fundamentals and working tools needed for the design and analyses of earth retaining structures and systems.
