دورة هندسة التربة و الأساسات

geotechnical engineering course

مجال الهندسة الجيوتقنية هو أحد أهم المجالات الهندسية يختص بالأعمال التالية :

1- أعمال إستكشاف الموقع و إجراء الإختبارات علي التربة و إعداد تقرير التربة و توصيات التأسيس

2- تصميم الأساسات السطحية و العميقة

3- تصميم الموني

4- تصميم الأنفاق

5- أعمال تحسين التربة

6- أعمال الحفر و السند

7- أعمال النزح

8- أعمال البنية التحتية

________________________________________________

تغطي هذه الدورة كافة هذه المواضيع من الناحية التنفيذية و التصميمية حيث ستشتمل علي دراسة طرق التنفيذ لمختلف الأعمال و كذلك طرق التصميم حسب الأكواد المختلفة ECP-AASHTO-FHWA-ACI

بالإضافة الي إستخدام مختلف البرامج الهندسية الجيوتقنية و الإنشائية في هذه الدورة مثل PLAXIS 2D – PLAXIS 3D – ALLPILE – SLIDE –WALLAP-MIDAS GTS NX- GEOSTUDEO- CSI SAP -CSI SAFE -CSI ETAPS

و يراعي أن هذه الدورة دورة ضخمة جدا نظرا لما تحتوية من مواضيع سيتم سردها علي المستوي العلمي و العملي و طرق التصميم اليدوي و استخدام البرامج المختلفة للوصول لفهم كامل لهذه المواضيع

تتكون هذه الدورة من 9 مستويات مختلفة تبدء من بداية تعريف التربة وصولا إلي الأعمال التصميمية المتقدمة

بحيث مع إنتهاء كل مستوي يصل المهندس لإتقان كامل و تام لمهارات المهندس الجيوتقني من الناحية الفنية و التصميمية و كذلك يتمكن المهندس الإنشائي من إستكمال الرؤية التصميمية بحيث يجمع ما بين النظرية الفلسفية للتصميم الإنشائي في إطار ضوابط الهندسة الجيوتقنية .
