Teaching Method

Outline:

When designing and constructing the foundations of structures, soil experiments are carried out to determine the necessary soil constants.
The goal of this course is to conduct soil experiments on your own and learn how to organize the experimenntal results.
Furthermore, by considering how to use the obtained soil constants, the connections between soil mechanics/geotechnical engineering will be understood.
In this course, one of the instructors who have been in charge of research and development related to geotechnical engineering at construction company will use their experience to give experiments.

Style:

Cooperation in groups of several people is important.
Reading the relevant experiment items in the textbook previously is requrired.
[ 60 class hours, 30 hours of self-study time ]

Notice:

Put on wear work clothes and shoes, and bring the textbook and your calculator.
