Geology and Geotechnical Engineering (1)

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
    The aim of this course is the following: • Recognize types of rock, soil origin, soil formation, and physical properties of soil. • Interpret the basics of soil water and soil permeability. • Outline the computation of different internal stresses within soil mass. • Illustrate various techniques of calculating the additional stresses in soil due to applied external loads.
  • Course Goals
  • Climate Action

Requirements

Description

  • English Description

    Engineering geology: definition, the role of geological engineering in civil engineering. Types of rock: igneous rock, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rocks. Soil formation: soil origin, weathering process, and basic definitions. Physical properties of soil: definitions, laboratory tests, basic relationships, soil classification, and soil consistency. Hydraulic soil properties: soil water, laboratory, and field soil permeability. Soil stresses: total stresses, pore water pressure and effective stresses. Seepage: flow net diagram, uplift pressure, critical hydraulic gradient. Dewatering systems.
