CET 4130 - Soil Mechanics

4(2 + 2)

Prerequisite: CET 3130 and CET 3180 with grades of “C” or better, and Senior standing

In this course, students are introduced to the physical and mechanical properties of soils and effects of soil conditions on the design and construction process. They design and evaluate solutions related to the foundation design of an engineering structure. Students will perform standard laboratory soil tests analyzing variations in behavior of soils under different loading conditions.(Senior Experience)
