The engineering, public works, urban planning and architecture encompasses many aspects. maybe a few more important than others, but of course, when we talk about the land. Here opinions are generalized, it is the key!
Understand how it works and what mechanisms allow us to Improving a floor is not an option, it is a mandatory. Any error or poor execution will mean many headaches without talking about the economic aspect.
Compaction methods, types of piles, systems of injection, screens, materials, machinery, etc. A long list of procedures and aspects that we often forget and It is an essential matter that we must know as professionals in the sector.
The good news! That from the UPV this month they launch a free online course to refresh our techniques and procedures for land improvement commonly used in civil engineering works and building .
And, in addition, the course is directed by Víctor Yepes . That apart from being Professor of the UPV in the Construction Engineering area, it is possibly one of the people who have the most knowledge of public works and engineering civil publicizes through social networks and his blog a top ten, adding value to the sector!

This UPV course was launched in MOOC format, that is, open enrollment for everyone. Anyone with a minimum of base knowledge, you can do it.
The items index especially in the necessary machinery, in the procedures constructive, in the applicability to the different types of soils, in economic, environmental and safety aspects at work .
Aspects such as preloading, inclusions in soil, gravel columns, piles, compaction dynamics, mechanical compaction, injections of terrain, the stabilization of soils in foundations, the deep mixing, anchoring, groundwater level control, among other topics.
The course agenda is organized for a period 8 weeks . In each week, a module will be worked different with an average of 4 to 5 weekly hours to learn the basics of terrain improvement techniques.
Remember that the UPV is very active in training issues free online and we have already verified it with:
