Soil mechanics 1300-OMGR4C
The classes are concentrated on:
- calculating the stresses in the soil: total stress and effective stress with regard to ground water flow,
- analysis of the phenomena in soils due to filtration in the soil,
- analysis of the stability of the bottom of the excavation,
- calculations of water flow into the excavation,
- stress distribution in the soil from external load,
- calculations of slopes stability, including the use of computer software,
- methodology of performing laboratory shear strength tests and deformation tests,
- interpretation of the results of laboratory strength tests and deformation tests,
- preparing during the semester three individual projects, these projects require additional 15 hrs of work at home.
