Course Objective and Content
| Course Objectives: | This is one of the two basic courses which aim to develop the concept of geotechnics. The index properties of soils are discussed with the aim of passing on to soil hydraulics and mechanical properties. These are in preparation for learning the stress-strain behavior of soil with reference to compressibility and shearing resistance |
| Course Content: | Geology of soils and clay mineralogy Basic properties: grain size,consistency,void ratio,degree of saturation Gaining insight to classification systems Hydraulic properties and the concept of effective stress Stresses and their effect on the soil Compressibility and consolidation- its acceleration Theories of shearing resiistance |
