This course is for those graduating with PhD in CE in the current semester.
Provides a fundamental understanding of the engineering properties and mechanical behavior of soil materials and their main applications in geotechnical engineering practice.Main course topics: soil classification, compaction, permeability, compressibility (consolidation), and shear strength.
To provide the students with an understanding of various geosynthetic products and their applications in civil engineering construction. Design applications (separation, filter, drainage, reinforcement in pavement systems, embankments, slopes, retaining walls, and foundations) will also be covered.
