An understanding of soil behaviour is a fundamental requisite to a wide variety of geotechnical engineering applications, such as foundation design, soil-structure interaction and geotechnical earthquake engineering. Appropriate numerical modelling also highly depends on a better understanding of soil behaviour. This course, which focuses on the behaviour of soils under various conditions, their theoretical descriptions and laboratory testing, will provide students the knowledge and understanding of fundamental soil behaviour and of the underlying scientific principles.
