What will I learn?
This Soil Mechanics Course equips you with practical skills to characterise soft clays and dense sands, interpret index and physical properties, and comprehend stress, strength, and compressibility behaviour. Learn to analyse pore pressures, groundwater effects, settlement, and consolidation, then apply this knowledge to choose shallow or deep foundations and ground improvement methods confidently in real-world projects.
