Regular and Modern Field Tests in Geotechnical Subsurface Investigation: Limitations and New Challenges in the Kurdistan Region
The Civil Engineering Department at Tishk International University is pleased to invite you to a workshop titled “Regular and Modern Field Tests in Geotechnical Subsurface Investigation: Limitations and New Challenges in the Kurdistan Region.”
Speaker: Dr. Yousif A. Hussein
Geotechnical subsurface investigation is a critical stage in any construction project. Conducted during the early phases of planning and design, it provides essential data on soil and rock properties that directly influence foundation design, project safety, and overall cost. This workshop will explore traditional and modern field testing techniques, discuss their limitations within local conditions, and highlight the challenges of adapting new technologies to the region’s construction practices.
