Soil Mechanics
4.00 credits
Engineering properties of soils, stress analysis of both normal consolidating stresses and sheer stresses, soil compaction and stability analysis of slopes. The design of shallow foundations is considered. Lab techniques in soil mechanics are strongly emphasized and the results of laboratory tests are utilized in reference to design formulas. Includes lab. Course fee of $10. (Prerequisites: MAT133 and PHY101)
