Geotechnical Engineering

<p>Geotechnical Engineering: Provide a comprehensive overview of soil mechanics including soil properties classification and behavior under various loading conditions. Discuss key concepts such as soil compaction consolidation shear strength and pore water pressure.</p><p>Site Investigation and Soil Testing: Explore methods for site investigation and soil testing including field and laboratory techniques for assessing soil properties. Discuss sampling methods in-situ tests (e.g. standard penetration test cone penetration test) and laboratory tests (e.g. Atterberg limits triaxial shear tests).</p><p>Foundation Design and Analysis: Examine the principles of foundation design and analysis including the design of shallow foundations (e.g. spread footings mat foundations) and deep foundations (e.g. piles caissons). Discuss load-bearing capacity settlement analysis and foundation stability.</p><p>Geotechnical Engineering in Practice: Explore practical aspects of geotechnical engineering including case studies of real-world applications construction challenges quality control and risk management. Discuss the integration of geotechnical considerations into project planning design and construction processes.</p>
