    COURSE DESCRIPTION
    This subject is a compulsory subject for civil engineering
    students. It will cover on basic soil properties which, consists
    of soil composition, soil classification and soil compaction.
    Besides that, it will also discuss on vertical stresses in soil due
    to overburden and external loading and water in soil. The
    topic that will cover is important to civil engineers where
    most of problems occur at site will involve with geotechnical
    and soil mechanics.

    COURSE OBJECTIVE
    At the end of this subject, students will be able to apply the
    knowledge on basic soil properties, soil classification and
    compaction properties and water in soil parameters in the
    planning, analysis, design and supervision of related
    geotechnical works.
    Students should attain the:

    CO1: Ability to determine the engineering parameters of soils


    for identification and analysis.
    CO2: Ability to classify soils according to BS, ASTM/USCS and
    AASHTO standards.
    CO3: Ability to analyze and solve technical problems related to
    geotechnical engineering.
