CIV E 481 Soil Engineering (Fall 25)
This course is designed to provide undergraduate students with essential geotechnical engineering principles for site development and infrastructure stability. It covers site investigation methods, soil strength characteristics, and geosynthetic applications for soil improvement. Students learn about designing excavations, analyzing earth pressures on retaining structures, assessing slope stability, and designing cuts and embankments. Foundation design principles, including stability, settlement, and pile foundations, are also discussed.
