The aim of this course is designed to provide postgraduate civil engineering students an advanced knowledge of geotechnical site investigation and soil testing. It includes site investigation procedures, planning and reporting, methods of subsurface investigation; ground or soil exploration includes boring, sampling soils and rocks; description and classification of soils and rocks, determination of stratigraphy and engineering properties by different types of field tests and laboratory tests; estimation of soil properties for foundation design and geophysical methods for site investigation.
Intended Learning Outcomes
CILO-1: Plan site investigation and prepare typical site investigation reports.
CILO-2: Utilize different soils and rocks sampling techniques for site investigation.
CILO-3: Use different field and laboratory measuring techniques for soil and rock properties determination and classification.
