Course Objective and Content
| Course Objectives: | This course aims to introduce students who have acquired skills to analyse problems of soil and rock mechanics in unstable masses in the form of natural and man made slopes. The student also learns the technological possibilities in the construction industry to form stable slopes enabling him to take the right decision. |
| Course Content: | -Introduction to improvement methods Classification: Soil type, grain size, temporary-permanent effects, technological data Methods that do not add to the medium: vibration, impact, compaction Non-additive methods: rolling, blasting, freezing Improvement by contributing to the environment: with additives, smoking, Breeding by contributing to the environment: İçtimli Improvement by contributing to the environment: create a rigid body Hydraulic applications: Drainage Hydraulic applications: electro-osmosis Structural measures: Piles and retaining structures Geosynthetics applications Increasing the bearing capacity of foundations Project-based solutions: building, road, tunnel, dam, earthquake effects |
