— Physico-Chemical Aspects of Soil Behavior

Prerequisites & course information

Course Description: Study of the geotechnical behavior of soils considering formation, transport, mineralogy, soil-fluid-electrolyte systems, surface tension, particle mechanics, shape, fabric, and structure. Laboratories demonstrate effects of fundamental interparticle forces (contact, Van Der Waals, capillarity and chemical). Learning Activities: Lecture 3 hour(s), Laboratory 3 hour(s). Grade Mode: Letter. Learning Activities: Lecture 3 hour(s), Laboratory 3 hour(s). Grade Mode: Letter.
