Discover Earth & Environment: how do we make sure buildings don’t fall down, or tunnels don’t collapse

Location: University of Leeds, Woodhouse Lane, LS2 9JT

Event Information: Are you interested in learning how to test the properties and behaviour of rocks? When we build a bridge, how do you make sure it does not cause the ground to fail under the weight? When we build a tunnel how do the engineers know it is not going to collapse on top of a train? Do you want to explore equipment and procedures used in geotechnical engineering design? If so, join us for a workshop on using geotechnical rock testing equipment. This workshop will help you develop knowledge in rock mechanics and inspire you to pursue further studies or careers in this field and the wider ground engineering sector. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with the experts and peers in this exciting and challenging domain. Register now and get ready to rock!

This event is suitable for: Year 12.
