These online PDH continuing education courses are intended for geotechnical and civil engineers. The courses focus on analysis of soil characteristics and foundation design, such as shallow and deep foundations, rafts and other commonly used types. The courses cover topics such as soil and rock classification, site investigation, laboratory testing, geotechnical interpretative reports and geotechnical design parameters.
Because the field of geotechnics is broad, we have courses related to soil mechanics, site works, analysis and design of foundations and many others. Hopefully you will find a course that is closely related to your area of practice. You may also want to explore areas outside your area of expertise and advance your knowledge in unfamiliar soil analysis methods and foundations construction methodologies.
You can also purchase a discipline specific or state specific online PDH package to satisfy complete license renewal requirements with considerable savings compared to purchasing individual courses.
