| Course description |
| In this lecture, we provide fundamental and advanced knowledge of geotechnical engineering in order to maintain and repair farmlands and agricultural facilities. Especially, we classify their damages due to natural disasters and study about theories and methods to repair the facilities on the base of environmental geotechnical engineering. |
| Expected Learning |
| You will obtain fundamental and advanced knowledge of geotechnical engineering in order to maintain and repair farmlands and agricultural facilities. |
