ADVANCED GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

Course Description

The course would cover Geotechnical site investigation methods and in situ tests used to estimate engineering parameters. In situ test methods: standard penetration test, cone penetration with and without pore pressure measurements, self-boring and cone pressuremeters, flat dilatometers and field vane shear tests. Correlations of strength and stiffness properties, in situ state parameters, consolidation coefficients, stress history, and other parameters. Application of soil mechanics in the analysis and design of shallow and deep foundations, and earth retaining structures. Importance of parameter selection in calculations of ultimate and serviceability limit state calculations for both shallow and deep foundations. Soil-structure interaction models using finite element based softwares.
