Soil Mechanics

The course describes the basic principles of soil mechanics tailored curriculum of Civil Engineering TE. Developed a series of methodologies and approaches for the identification of key elements for soil and foundation construction, and more specifically to identify trends in the soil due to the same weight and responsible, calculating the soil bearing capacity and the load rating foundation, determination of surface subsidence of foundations and calculation of earth pressures and retaining walls.

Objectives

Understanding the fundamental principles of soil behavior as civil engineering and the development of skills in solving problems related to the foundations of buildings. Understand in depth and consolidation concepts Theoretical soil mechanics to solve problems of the Act.
