About this Event

Chers membres et ami(e)s de la Société canadienne de géotechnique,

La Section Ouest du Québec de la SCG a le plaisir d’annoncer la tenue d’un atelier de formation d’une journée entièrement dédié à la stabilité de talus à l’aide du logiciel Slide2 de Rocscience.

Cette formation sera offerte le mercredi 29 avril, en présentiel à l’ÉTS. Le local sera transmis ultérieurement

Cet atelier sera animé par des formateurs de Rocscience, qui présenteront les principes fondamentaux de l’analyse de stabilité, les fonctionnalités avancées du logiciel et des cas pratiques issus de projets réels.

  • Moins de 40 participants → La formation aura lieu le mercredi 29 avril
  • Plus de 40 participants → Une deuxième journée de formation identique sera ajoutée, soit le jeudi 30 avril, sous réserve de disponibilité des formateurs.

Le nombre de place est limité à 40 personnes par jour de formation

Lieu

École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS)
1100, rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montréal, QC

Inscription :

Le nombre de places étant limité, nous vous invitons à vous inscrire rapidement. Le prix de la formation est de 750$+tx par participant
La formation sera donnée en ANGLAIS.



Description du cours (en Anglais)



Alireza Azami, Ph.D.

Dr. Alireza Azami is a Geomechanics Specialist and the Director of Research at Rocscience, where he has been a key contributor since 2010. He holds a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (Geomechanics) from McMaster University, with a research focus on constitutive modelling of geomaterials.

Over his tenure at Rocscience, Dr. Azami has led research and development efforts across several flagship software products, including Slide2, Slide3, RS2, RS3, and RSData. His expertise spans seepage and coupled hydro-mechanical analysis, advanced constitutive modelling for soil and rock materials, and implementation of the shear strength reduction method for a wide range of material models within Rocscience FEM tools.

Beyond software development, Dr. Azami is actively involved in knowledge transfer and industry training. He regularly delivers workshops, webinars, and both standard and fully customized courses to engineering professionals worldwide. He is also engaged in collaborative research programs and serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering at the University of Toronto.
