It sounds like the training session provided a comprehensive overview of the geotechnical investigation report review and estimation of bearing capacity for shallow foundations. The topics covered seem crucial for understanding soil behavior and its implications on foundation design. Madhumitha S, as the faculty, likely brought a wealth of expertise to the session, given her background as a geotechnical engineer at IDU, KHRI. Having hands-on training sessions and demonstrations would have greatly enhanced the learning experience, allowing participants to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios, held on 12.03.2024 and 17.04.2024
The inclusion of discussions on soil classification, laboratory testing, and interpreting test results underscores the importance of a thorough understanding of soil properties in engineering design. Moreover, exploring correlations between SPT N values and soil properties would have provided attendees with practical tools for characterizing soil strength and behavior. Overall, participants likely left the training session equipped with valuable skills and knowledge essential for effective geotechnical report review and foundation recommendation.
