Full Description

This exam addresses the theoretical evaluation of site conditions that contribute to failures in geotechnical engineering. Key areas include site geology, hydrology, and soil behavior under loading.

A thorough evaluation of site conditions is paramount, as they directly influence the design, stability, and long-term performance of geotechnical structures.

The exam will measure candidates' understanding of how to assess site conditions and their ability to recommend appropriate design adjustments based on site evaluations.

Candidates should also be prepared to discuss how environmental changes impact site conditions and engineering practices.

Sample Questions

How does site geology influence the stability of geotechnical structures?
Describe the relationship between hydrology and soil behavior during loading conditions.

Field: Engineering and Technology

Subfield: Geotechnical Engineering

Specialization: Forensic Geotechnical Engineering
