B

Aim:
The course intends to give basic knowledges about soil properties, ability to perform standard analysis of soil mechanics problems and ability to evaluate standard field investigations.

Course organization:
The teaching consists of lectures,laboratory and field work.

Course content:
We start with a geologic description of the origin of different rocks and soils.With continue with investigations of caracteristic mechanical behaviour of different soils, classification of soils, water content in soils, fieldinvestigation methods and some foundation methods. We end with analysis of the settlements and stability of buildings and roads.
