| Outline and Purpose of the Course | The first aim of this course is to acquire laboratory and in situ testing methods to assess engineering properties of soil, which were taught in the soil mechanics course. | |||
| Course Goals |
To help students in understanding the soil mechanics concepts given in the Soil Mechanics course with hands on experience. To be able to carry out all soil mechanics fundamental experiments. To collect, analyze and interpret experimental data. To have a feeling of engineering properties of geomaterials. |
