The Department of Building and Construction Engineering Technologies hosted a scientific workshop focusing on the foundation of structural safety, titled: "Field Soil Testing and its Role in the Stability of Engineering Structures" Presented by: Asst. Lect. Kawthar Hussein Shalan Asst. Lect. Alaa Hussein Abdul-Amir Asst. Lect. Haneen [Last Name] Workshop Highlights: In-situ Testing Significance: Comparing field vs. lab tests to capture the soil's natural properties. Standard Penetration Test (SPT): Practical methods to derive bearing capacity values for foundation design. Plate Load Test: Simulating building loads to determine settlement and soil reaction. Geotechnical Data Analysis: Converting field results into precise parameters for structural designers.
