A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Introduction to soil mechanics

Introduction to soil mechanics covers the fundamental concepts that link soil behaviour to engineering practice: the classification of soils, the nature of soil as a porous medium, and the basic mechanical properties such as compressibility, shear strength, and permeability.
