Civil & Environmental Engrg 526 - NumericalMethods/GeotechEngin

The primary objective of this course is to give students an exposure to the computer modeling techniques used in geotechnical engineering. Topics include consolidation, seepage, slope stability and stress distribution. We will outline theories behind each analysis. The students will write simple computer programs for idealized conditions, and will be taught the usage of typical computer packages provided in the course for solving more complicated engineering problems. Selection of soil parameters for civil engineering design will also be discussed.
