Computer applications to soil mechanics will be covered. Design of geotechnical systems including bases, foundations, embankments, and dams. Design of shallow foundations, cantilevered and anchored retaining walls, piling, drilled piers and special foundations. Computer applications to geotechnical engineering are covered. Both routine and advanced forms of soil testing are covered.
Emphasis is placed on procedures and application of results to design.
Analysis of simple structural systems, both determinate and indeterminate. Introduction to the use of energy methods in indeterminate structures. Analysis of structures by use of matrix techniques and the digital computer. An introduction to finite analysis techniques. Computer aided structural analysis and design using existing finite element program, static dynamic loading.
