Soil Mechanics 1300-OMG11C-GES

The classes are devoted to specialist laboratory analyzes and methods of their interpretation focused on:
1. shear strength (maxium and residual)
- TRX tests with saturation by back pressure: strength parameters in effective stress state,
- ring shear test (residual strength): residual strength parameters
2. consolidation
- CRL and CRS tests
3. elastic parameters
- analysis of wave velocity Vs and Vp (bender elements apparatus)
4. Soil behavior under dynamic loading
- TRX test under dynamic loading
