Master Geotechnical Engineering:
This course provides a foundational understanding of different types of earth-retaining walls, teaches you how to assess their stability using geotechnical principles, and covers best practices for designing new walls and addressing substandard ones.  Take this opportunity to consolidate your mastery of geotechnical engineering.

Put Theory into Practice:
Work on tutorial exercises both before and after the teacher reviews the solutions in class.  These exercises will help you apply geotechnical theories to real-world scenarios and understand the challenges in designing and assessing retaining walls.  The course also includes a team assignment to design retaining walls for a typical site formation project in Hong Kong.

Interact with the Instructor:
The teacher will share experience and insights from a thriving career as a practicing engineer, geotechnical expert, and management executive.
