ADVANCED SOIL MECHANICS

Description

This class presents the applying of ideas of soil mechanics. It considers the next subjects: the origin and nature of soils; soil classification; the efficient stress precept; hydraulic conductivity and seepage; stress-strain-strength habits of cohesionless and cohesive soils and software to lateral earth stresses; bearing capability and slope stability; consolidation idea and settlement evaluation; and laboratory and subject strategies for analysis of soil properties in design apply.
