CEGR 746 - Advanced Soil Dynamics

Three hours.
3 Credits

Emphasis on theoretical and applied study in soil dynamics including soil stress-strain relations, strength and failure under dynamic loading, loading rate effect, small and larger deformation under repeated loading , propagation of stress wave in soils. Investigation of soil dynamic parameters through lab and field. Solving problems in engineering such as sand liquefaction due to earthquake, foundation stability analysis under vibration, wave propagation because of pile driving or earthquake, etc.

Prerequisite(s) Soil Dynamics, MATH (PDE), Mechanics of Materials.
