What Does a Geotechnical Engineer Do?

Geotechnical engineers mainly study the engineering properties of geotechnical constituents. It first studies the geotechnical samples collected from the construction site and the data in the geotechnical samples, and then calculates the lattice required for the buildings on the construction site. The design of foundations, piles, retaining walls, dams, tunnels, etc. requires the advice of geotechnical engineers.

Geotechnical Engineer

Participate in geotechnical engineering (including foundation pit (foundation, foundation) engineering, underground cave engineering,
Education and training: Bachelor degree or above in geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, structural engineering, etc., passed
The development of geotechnical engineers can be divided into two parts: one is in a consulting company, which is the main service company for geotechnical engineers in the future. It is mainly responsible for survey, test, design, inspection, monitoring and other related work related to data, demonstration and decision-making. The other is an engineering company, which is mainly responsible for the implementation of geotechnical engineering.
The general monthly salary is around 7000-10,000 yuan. The basic salary is based on technical titles, with an engineer title of 6,000 yuan / month or more; a senior engineer title of 8,000 yuan / month or more.
Following the national implementation
Citizens of the People's Republic of China, who abide by national laws and regulations, abide by professional ethics, and have the relevant professional education and professional practice conditions, can apply to take the registered civil engineer (geotechnical) qualification examination.

The 2013 geotechnical engineer exam time is September 7th and 8th.
exam subjects:
China's registered geotechnical engineer examination is conducted in two stages.
The first stage is the basic exam, which is conducted after the undergraduate graduation from the university in accordance with the corresponding prescribed number of years. The purpose is to test whether the candidate has a basic grasp of the basic and professional theoretical knowledge required to enter the geotechnical engineering practice.
The second stage is the professional examination, which is based on the candidates passing the basic examination and practicing the specified number of years in the geotechnical engineering post. The purpose is to test whether the candidate has the ability to conduct geotechnical engineering in accordance with national laws, regulations and technical specifications Prospecting, design and construction skills and ability to solve practical problems.
The basic exam and the professional exam are held for one day each, divided into two periods, four hours each.
The basic exam is a closed-book exam. In the morning, the test mainly examines the mastery of basic science. It consists of 120 multiple-choice questions, each with 1 point and 9 subjects: advanced mathematics, general physics, theoretical mechanics, material mechanics, fluid mechanics, Building materials, electrical engineering, engineering economy. The afternoon session mainly tests candidates' mastery of professional knowledge related to geotechnical engineering directly. It consists of 60 questions, each with 2 points and 7 subjects: engineering geology, soil mechanics and foundation, elastic mechanics structural mechanics and structural design, Engineering surveys, computers and numerical methods, building construction and management, professional regulations.
The professional scope of the professional examination includes: engineering geology and hydrogeology, structural engineering and geotechnical engineering. There are 7 subjects in the morning section, 1. geotechnical engineering survey; 2. shallow foundation; 3. deep foundation; 4. foundation treatment 5. Geotechnical structure, slope, foundation pit and underground engineering; 6. Geotechnical engineering under special conditions; 7. Earthquake engineering. Each subject has 1 homework problem with 12 points. From these 7 subjects, 4 subjects are selected for the test, for a total of 48 points.
In the afternoon session, in addition to the above subjects, engineering economics and management subjects were added. Each subject included 8 multiple-choice questions with 1 point each. Six subjects were selected from these 8 subjects for a total of 48 points.
Note: The above information is for reference only, it is slightly different in each area. For special circumstances, please refer to the notice of the personnel examination center of each province.

Geotechnical Engineer License Conditions

Persons who meet one of the following conditions can apply:
(1) Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering who are engaged in professional technical work in geotechnical engineering, or those who have obtained the title of National Engineering Survey Master.
(2) Complying with the relevant provisions in the "Measures for the Qualification Assessment of Registered Civil Engineers (Geotechnical Engineers)" (Renfa [2002] No. 35), obtained a bachelor's degree or above and engaged in geotechnical engineering professional technical work with a total of 15 In the year of 2006, the company was evaluated as a senior professional and technical person in the engineering category, and had one of the following requirements:
1. In the survey and design unit with Grade A engineering survey qualification, he has held the position of chief and deputy chief engineer (responsible for geotechnical engineering technical work) for 5 years, and won the national excellent engineering survey project gold, silver award or related geotechnical engineering The main technical person in charge of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.
2. An expert engaged in the preparation of the qualification examination outline and the design of examination questions for the registered civil engineer (geotechnical). [1]

Geotechnical Engineer Application Procedure

(1) the same procedures for assessment and identification;
(2) The geotechnical engineering committee shall, after passing the preliminary examination, report to the National Survey and Design Registered Engineer Management Committee for final review.
