这门课程介绍了土壤力学原理的应用，它考虑了下列主题：土壤的起源与性质、土壤分类、有效应力原理、水力传导性与渗流、无凝聚性与凝聚性土壤的应力-应变-强度行为与应用于侧向土压力、边坡稳定与承载力、压密理论与沉陷分析、以及在设计实务上的评估土壤性质的试验室与现地试验的方法。

This class presents the application of principles of soil mechanics. It considers the following topics: the origin and nature of soils; soil classification; the effective stress principle; hydraulic conductivity and seepage; stress-strain-strength behavior of cohesionless and cohesive soils and application to lateral earth stresses; bearing capacity and slope stability; consolidation theory and settlement analyses; and laboratory and field methods for evaluation of soil properties in design practice.
