This unit covers all aspects of geomechanics at intermediate and advanced levels including consolidation theory of soils, estimation of consolidation and creep settlements for different types of soils, advanced topics on shear strength of soils under various drainage conditions, stress-paths and laboratory triaxial tests, determination of drained and undrained shear strength parameters, critical state mechanics and various failure criteria, soil and rock slope analysis, earth pressure theory and design of retaining walls. Applications to practical problems are key aspects of the learning covered.
The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 3-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-9 hours of independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
Communicate professional decisions to specialist and/or non-specialist audiences.
Determine soil consolidation time and associated settlements.
Draw on earth pressure theories to design basic retaining walls.
Analyse stability of soil and rock slopes.
Analyse advanced soil strength testing and stress paths results considering drained and undrained behaviour.
Appraise the shear strength of soils and rocks.
Draw on various soil models to analyse soil/rock behaviour.
