AN EXCLUSIVE ONLINE SESSION ON DEEP FOUNDATION TESTING
Deep foundations are the backbone of modern infrastructure. Ensuring quality and integrity is paramount to the safety and longevity of structures. This comprehensive online workshop, organised by The Department of civil engineering faculty, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, through Centre for Continuing Education, in collaboration with Taqell Edification Pvt. Ltd, provides an in-depth understanding of Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) methods for deep foundation testing. The Faculty will equip you with the practical knowledge and skills needed to effectively assess, analyze, and interpret deep foundation tests, including static, dynamic,and non-destructive testing methods.
