Objetivos

Students should be able to:
i) understand the basic characteristics of soils and the relevant classifications applicable;
ii) identify the mechanisms involved in soil compaction;
iii) understand the effects of water and its movement within the soil;
iv) understand and apply the concepts of effective stress and total stress in soil;
v) analyze the behavior of soils in relation to its deformability and strength.
