CE 4200 - Advanced Geotechnical Engineering Design

Institution:

Southern Utah University

Subject:

Civil Engineering

Description:

This course provides advanced analysis and design of geotechnical systems with an emphasis on professional practice, constructability, and performance-based design. Topics include geotechnical site characterization and parameter selection, groundwater and seepage with flow-net and numerical approaches, shallow and mat foundations (bearing, settlement, and serviceability), deep foundations (axial and lateral capacity, group effects, and load testing), earth-retaining systems (sheet piles, braced excavations, mechanically stabilized earth, and soil nailing), slope stability and stabilization, and ground improvement and geosynthetics. The course includes an integrated design project that uses applicable codes and standards, as well as current design references.
