CE 530 - Advanced Soil Mechanics and Slope Stability

3 Credit Hours
Implications of surface charge for fine-grained soils. Force balance and effective stress. Stresses in a soil mass, stress paths, stress-strain relationships, Rankine earth pressures, and retaining walls. Capillarity, unsaturated soil, one- and two-dimensional flow, consolidation theory, drained and undrained behavior. Infinite slopes, non-circular failure surfaces, limiting equilibrium methods for evaluating stability of soil slopes, and selection of strength parameters.
(DE) Prerequisite(s): 430.
