CIVE 315 Soil Mechanics II 4.0 Credits
This course covers stress-strain and stability behavior of porous particulate soil. Effective stress and laminar flow are combined in one-dimensional consolidation. Stress distribution from applied loads and the resulting deformation are addressed in elastic and plastic equilibrium stages. Failure theory and measurement of strength properties are included, along with basic application to slopes, retaining structures, and both shallow and deep foundations.
