這門課程介紹了土壤力學原理的應用，它考慮了下列主題：土壤的起源與性質、土壤分類、有效應力原理、水力傳導性與滲流、無凝聚性與凝聚性土壤的應力-應變-強度行為與應用於側向土壓力、邊坡穩定與承載力、壓密理論與沈陷分析、以及在設計實務上的評估土壤性質的試驗室與現地試驗的方法。

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.
