| Course description |
| In this lecture we provide fundamental knowledge of mechanical properties of soils which are necessary to prevent natural disasters due to heavy rainfalls and earthquakes and design soil structures. |
| Expected Learning |
| You will study fundamental, theoretical and advanced knowledge of mechanical properties of soils. This is the foundations of geotechnical engineering. |
