SEAA 1713 – SOIL MECHANICS
This subject is a compulsory subject for civil engineering students. The content of this subject will give a student basic understanding and exposure towards practical in Geotechnical Engineering. It will cover on basic soil properties which, consists of soil composition, soil classification and soil compaction. Besides that, it will also discuss on vertical stresses in soil due to overburden and external loading, water in soil and soil shear strength. The topic that will cover is important to civil engineers where most of problems occur at site will involve with geotechnical and soil mechanics. At the end of this subject, students will able to apply the knowledge on basic soil properties, soil classification and compaction properties, water in soil and shear strength parameters in the planning, analysis, design and supervision of related geotechnical works.
