| Outline and Purpose of the Course | The student is expected to learn:soil consolidation and stress distribution in soil media, shear strength of soil, lateral earth pressure-active and passive conditions, bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations, stability of slope and soil dynamics. | |||
| Course Goals |
The course objective is to provide an understanding of key engineering properties and mechanical behavior of soil materials including consolidation, shear deformation and strength properties, bearing capacity of foundations, stability of slopes and excavations, and dynamic properties of soil. At the end of the course, students will be able to: 1. Understand the principles of strength and deformation behavior of different soils. 2. Understand and apply the fundamentals of soil mechanics and geotechnical compitation methods. 3. Understand the soil-structutes interaction. |
