ENGR 443 Soil Mechanics and Foundation Design

Study the engineering principles relating to soil properties and apply them to the design of structural foundations. Consider soil structures, index properties, soil classification, permeability, compressibility, and consolidation, soil testing procedures, and soil stresses. Apply those concepts to design related to slope stability, retaining walls, and bearing capacity of shallow foundations.
