An Introduction to Identification and Classification of Soil and Rock (G03-001)
Geotechnical Engineering: Deep Foundations (G12-002 )
This online engineering PDH course will introduce you to the principles and practices of identification and classification of soil and rock. Identification and classification are the essential first steps in soil mechanics and engineering, and engineering of foundations for structures such as buildings, dams and bridges. This course will provide you with an understanding of the soil and rock materials in order to proceed with the engineering analysis and design of a specific project.
This 3 PDH online course is intended for geotechnical, environmental and structural engineers, design professionals, and construction personnel who are interested in gaining an understanding of the basic principles of soil and rock identification and classification.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning the importance of the geologic origin and mode of occurrence of soils
- Learning about residual and organic sedimentary soils.
- Learning the different types of aeolian soils and their properties
- Learning the properties of glacial soil deposits
- Learning how to identify marine, colluvial and pyroclastic soils
- Learning the definitions and terminology associated with soil fractions and components
- Learning about the Unified Soil Classification System and how to use it with visual and laboratory classification methods
- Learning about the Standard Penetration Test and Atterberg Plasticity Limits
- Learning the properties of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock
- Learning the principles and terminology of rock weathering and discontinuities
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, "An Introduction to Identification and Classification of Soil and Rock".

This online engineering PDH course, as a part of Geotechnical Engineering Series, covers basic theories, engineering evaluations, design approaches, and practical construction quality control (CQC) procedures for design and construction of deep foundations.
For situations where shallow foundations are inappropriate for support of structural elements, deep foundations are necessary to transfer structure load through unsuitable subsurface to suitable bearing strata.
This 12 PDH online course is applicable to geotechnical, civil, mining, structural, and environmental engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the planning, design, and construction of shallow foundations.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the general approach to foundation design
- Learning about the various types of deep foundations including driven and CIP (cast-in-place) piles
- Familiarizing with the pile design concept and procedure
- Learning how to assess pile side and tip resistances
- Understanding the practical design approaches of load tests and deformation-compatible side/tip resistances
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review Chapter 9, Deep Foundations of the Federal Highway Administration "Reference Manual Volume II, SOILS {C}AND FOUNDATIONS", Publication No. FHWA NHI-06-089.
