7. Slope stability in soil and rock

BRIEF SUMMARY

In the workshop course, the various methodologies for analyzing the stability of slopes in soils and rocks will be studied. Likewise, the exhibitor will guide you to develop numerical modeling of real cases of slope stability problems such as tailings deposits, waste rock, open pit, others. For the modeling of geotechnical problems, various software from the firm Rocscience will be used, such as Slide, Swedge, Rocplane and Dips.

 

Software's used in the course:

* Dips

* RocPlane

* Slide

* Swedge

 

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

► Study the various methodologies for analyzing the stability of slopes in soils and rocks.

► Know the main software's applied to slope stability.

► Development of cases applying computer-assisted numerical modeling.

BENEFITS

► Valid course to access the international specialization diploma in underground and surface Geomechanics.

► Receive the specialist certification in underground and surface geomechanics.

► Train at the hands of a speaker with extensive experience in the subject.

► Receive materials for each unit such as slides, manuals and data that you can keep.

► Being able to make all necessary academic queries directly to the speaker.

► Freedom to access the course on the day and at the time you want, as well as to pause and go back the class as many times as necessary until you fully assimilate the knowledge provided.

► The costs are reduced compared to those of a face-to-face course, since the expenses incurred are lower.

► Access the network of professionals from the various countries of the world. Technicians, university students, engineers, masters, doctors, post doctors and the general public related to the professional field participate in our courses.

► Access the database of the queries and answers of the participants, as well as the technical reports generated in each course.

 

TRAINING MODALITY
The modality presented is the “Virtual-OFFLINE” (Virtual asynchronous); in this you will develop a course every 30 days, which is made up of videos, materials, slides and questions to the speaker. At the end of each course, you must take an exam to pass it and move on to the next course.
You will be assigned the tutoring of a specialist and there will be no limitations in terms of access hours or consultations with the speaker, this promotes that you be trained efficiently. The hours dedicated to each module must be managed assertively to optimize the benefit. You will experience all of the above through our virtual campus, which will also allow us to monitor your progress.

DIRECTED TO:

Professionals and technicians who work in mining, construction and/or energy companies and are working in the areas of engineering, planning, geotechnics, geomechanics, geology, mining safety and professionals who require greater knowledge of it. Likewise, professionals from mining contractor companies, infrastructure, consultants, university professors and students and the general public that is involved in the subject.

TESTIMONIALS

"It seems to me a fairly complete course with detailed information that is very necessary for its application in engineering works. The interactive way that they apply to the development of the contents is of high quality and commits me to continue attending the topics. I hope that the following courses be the same and give that plus that characterized them in this course to acquire the geotechnical criteria that current works demand. I really liked the didactics of the course. The content of the course contains what I expected. The academic follow-up is better than in a face-to-face course. The CGI virtual platform is very good"

"As a soil mechanics engineer, it has been gratifying to venture into the field of rock mechanics. This course has awakened my interest in knowing and learning more about the field of Geomechanics. I am very happy to have enrolled in the course. Thank you very much for their effort in developing these courses. Congratulations to the exhibitor and thanks for the initiative in conducting the course. I congratulate the academic advisor for their good work"

“It has seemed very good to me because it has provided basic theoretical elements and practical elements on the characterization of rock masses. The Offline modality makes it much easier for professionals due to the ease of accessing the course at any time. Communication mechanisms are agile and well implemented. The answers are timely, and quite clear. I think it's a good course and a good methodology. Congratulations to the teachers”
