• stresses in soil, effective stress, pore pressure, Mohr-circles, stress fields
• settlements
• consolidation
• shear strengt, dict shear test, triaxial test
• earth pressure
• bearing capacity, hydraulic failure
• slopes • shallow foundations
• pile foundations
• underground amelioration (replacement, compaction, pre-loading, grouting, freezing)
• groundwater containment
• retaining structures

Methods:

Presentation of theory in a concise and clear way. The transparencies used are available to the students via VIS-Online
