1.364 Advanced Geotechnical Engineering | Civil and Environmental Engineering

<1.364 examines site characterization and geotechnical aspects of the design and construction of foundation systems. Topics include: site investigation (with emphasis on in situ testing), shallow (footings and raftings) and deep (piles and caissons) foundations, excavation support systems, groundwater control, slope stability, soil improvement (compaction, soil reinforcement, etc.), and construction monitoring. This course is a core requirement for... Show More

This material is designed for graduate level courses (as the name suggests) in Geotechnical Engineering. It is designed for MIT open courseware. The material contains syllabus, assignments and exams without solutions which is good but the major drawback of this material is that it does not have any other ‘actual’ course material as such. The syllabus and assignments etc are useful for instructors to design a course and it is not meant for students!
