Course Objectives: | Soil mechanics is the branch of science that studies the physical properties of the soil and the behavior of soil masses exposed to various forces. A geotechnical engineer must use soil mechanics principles in designing structures such as foundations and retaining structures. In this course, the necessary information to achieve this goal will be conveyed. |
Course Content: | Formation of Soils / Weight-Volume Relationship in Soils / plasticity behavior of soils and Atterberg limits / Classification of Soils / Compaction / Permeability in Soils / Bernoulli equation, Darcy's law, Laplace equation / Flow networks, Calculation of the amount of leakage from flow networks / Stresses in the soil / Mohr Stress Circle / Mohr -Coulomb theory/ Shear strength of soils/ general principles of consolidation. |
