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.
