INATEX 2019

with No Comments

Industrial Art & Technology Exhibition (INATEX) is one of the University’s program in Research and Development organised by Research Management Center (RMC). INATEX is an R&D exhibition that showcases UTM inventions and inovations. INATEX also acts as a competition for products develop by UTM researchers. The purpose of INATEX is to promote the research findings or products to the public by exhibiting the creative inventions and innovative products from UTM researchers. INATEX is also is a platform for UTM researchers to commercialize their research results at a higher level and to form a global network of intellectual partners together with industry. Therefore, researchers should always equip themselves with knowledge and skill and be familiar with the technology and new discoveries in the field of their expertise.

My respectful thanks to all of my team members and students who involved in this event.

Bronze is ours.

SEAA 1713 – SOIL MECHANICS

with No Comments

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.

MKAJ 1013 – ADVANCED SOIL MECHANICS

with No Comments

This subject is one of the core subjects offered by Department of Geotechnics and Transportation, for Master (Thought Course) programme, which will provide:  the knowledge on the application and principles of soil mechanics. It considers the following topics: soil and clay mineralogy, strength behaviour of cohesionless and cohesive soils. Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, peak stresses, effective stress ratio, residual stress and critical state soil mechanics.  Principles of the laboratory measurement. Consolidation theory and pore pressure parameters. Difference between 1-D and 3-D Consolidation theory. Field Settlement. Soil-water characteristic curve for unsaturated soils and its applications.
