This course presents the fundamentals of engineering soil mechanics related to civil engineering. CET 343 Soil Mechanics (3) This course presents the fundamentals of engineering soil mechanics related to civil engineering. The course provides the initial exposure to soil mechanics, presenting the fundamentals essential to further study in foundation engineering and other advanced courses. The course begins with coverage of how soil properties influence the different types of structures or facilities built by structural and construction engineers. Students study the formation of natural soil deposits by the geological and biological events in the earth's history. The soil sampling procedures are briefly explained, and then various index properties of soils are determined, and utilized in engineering classifications of soils. Options available for compacting soils in the lab and field are studied. The laboratory tests for finding soil permeability are studied, followed by coverage of empirical equations for estimating the permeability. Simple cases of seepage are analyzed using graphical flow net method. Elastic half- space theories and approximate methods are used for estimating the stress distribution in soils. The concepts of pore water pressure and effective stress are introduced. The covered strength theories include

General Education aids students in developing intellectual curiosity, a strengthened ability to think, and a deeper sense of aesthetic appreciation. These are requirements for all baccalaureate students and are often partially incorporated into the requirements 3 of a program. For additional information, see the General Education Requirements (p. 3371) section of the Bulletin and consult your academic adviser. The keystone symbol appears next to the title of any course that is designated as a General Education course. Program requirements may also satisfy General Education requirements and vary for each program.
