Entry Knowledge
Base knowledge of the properties and testing of soils.
Aims
To acquaint the students with the new methods of interpretation of physical-mechanical properties of soils. To teach the students to check the influence of geotechnical structures into environment.
Student will master the course objective, will acquaint the new methods of interpretation of physical-mechanical properties of soils and will be able to check the influence of geotechnical structures into environment.
