Soil Mechanics Course
This course equips you with core soil mechanics knowledge for foundation design in challenging ground conditions like soft clays over dense sands. You will learn to interpret soil tests, analyze stresses and settlements, evaluate pore pressures and groundwater effects, and make informed decisions on shallow, deep, or improved foundation systems to ensure project success and safety.
