Soil Mechanics Course
This course equips you with core soil mechanics knowledge for foundation design in real projects. Profile soft clays over dense sands, evaluate stresses, pore pressures, settlements, and consolidation, and make informed decisions on shallow foundations, deep piles, or ground improvement methods with engineering confidence.
