This is a subject of the Bachelor of Engineering (Civil)<br />
Obiectives<br />
To enable students to recognise the terrain shape, geology,<br />
and soils of a region, and the influence of these factors on<br />
civil engineering projects; construct simple geological cross<br />
sections; identify and classify rock and soil specimens; select<br />
shallow foundations for light loads taking into account shear<br />
strength, settlement, and expansive soil behaviour; carry out<br />
a basic site investigation for a domestic structure; estimate<br />
lateral earth pressures on retaining structures.<br />
Content<br />
Structure of the earth: tectonic plates and their movement;<br />
formation of rocks; rock types and their identification;<br />
elements of structural geology; measurement of dip angle<br />
and direction, strike; geological mapping; Victorian<br />
physiography.<br />
Formation of soil types and their identification: physical<br />
properties of soil; soil classification systems.<br />
Geostatic stresses and the effective stress law: shear strength<br />
of coarse and fine grained soils; shear strength determination<br />
in the laboratory and the field; bearing capacity of shallow<br />
footing foundations subjected to concentric, eccentric and<br />
inclined loads; lightly loaded foundations on expansive soil;<br />
conducting a simple site investigation; immediate and<br />
consolidation settlement; earth pressure theory for rigid<br />
retaining walls; stability and sizing of retaining walls; sheet<br />
pile walls.<br />
