An overview of fundamental soil mechanics (Formation, composition, aggregate, plasticity and classification of soil); stress and strain with elastic equilibrium (principle of effective stress, stress-strain relations; stress-strain-strength behavior of cohesion less and cohesive soils); stresses and displacements in a soil mass; Hydraulic conductivity (pore water pressure, permeability and seepage); advanced consolidation theory and settlement analyses; shear strength of soils; Soil sampling; laboratory and field methods for evaluation of soil properties in design practice.
