MATLAMAT (GOALS) :
To prepare student with the knowledge and detail understanding in analyzing and designing geotechnical
structure.

SINOPSIS (SYNOPSIS) :
Geotechnical engineering is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth
materials. Geotechnical engineering includes investigating existing subsurface conditions and materials;
determining their physical/mechanical and chemical properties that are relevant to the project considered. This
course focusing in design of geotechnical structure. Student also can analyze problem occur in soil and
proposed solution for each problem. The scopes of this course are fundamental properties, flow in soil, stress
in soil, slope stability and consolidation & settlement.

HASIL PEMBELAJARAN (LEARNING OUTCOMES) :

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to :
1.
2.
3.

design various type of geotechnical structure based on relevant standard.

explain different type of soil properties used in designing various type of geotechnical structure
present a group project on simulated geotechnical model.
