Overview Civil engineers are in the midst of a construction revolution. Heavy structures are being located in areas formerly considered unsuitable from the standpoint of the supporting power of the underlying soils. Earth structures are contemplated that are of unprecedented height and size, soil systems must be offered to contain contaminants for time scale for which past experience is either inadequate or absent. Design must be offered to defy the ravages of floods and earthquakes that so frequently visit major population centers. Main Topic Engineering Geology (& Rock Mechanics) Soil Engineering Foundation Engineering Geo-Technical Engineering Content · A Historical Perspective · Origin of Soil and Grain Size (Rock Mechanics) · Soil Relationships and Classification · Accounting for Variability (Reliability) · Strength and deformation · Groundwater, Permeability and Seepage · Consolidation and Settlement Analysis · Stree Distribution · Slope Stability · Retaining Structures · Foundations - Properties of Soil and of Reinforced Soil - Natural Soil Deposits and Subsoil Exploration - Shallow Foundation: Ultimate Bearing Capacity - Shallow Foundation: Allowable Bearing Capacity and Settlement - Mat Foundations - Lateral Earth Pressure (Active & Passive Pressure) - Retaining Walls - Sheet Piles Structures - Pile Foundations - Drilled-Shaft and Caisson Foundations - Foundations on Difficult Soils - Soil Improvement and Ground Modification · Land Liners and Geo-synthetics · Geo-technical Earthquake Engineering · Geo-Environment · In Situ Subsurface Characterization · In Situ Testing and Field Instrumentation References · W.F.
