Course Discription |
:
The course aims to introduce the students to the main concepts and theories of soil physical properties from the engineering stand point in order to evaluate, judge and amend the soil for various environmental, agricultural, and engineering applications. Also it aims to provide the students with the applications of solid and fluid mechanics to formulate the basic techniques used for evaluation soil properties and to develop the methodologies required for site improvement and testing the soil for various foundation establishments. The course also aims to introduce the students to the geotechnical engineering concepts and soil mechanics as a combination of engineering mechanics, and provide the students with the major determination principles used either at the field or the laboratory for the major soil physical properties used by engineers. |
