Material Detail

Geotechnical Engineering Explained: Soil, Foundations & Earth System Design" is an open educational resource (OER) module authored by Prep4Uni.Online. It provides an in-depth scientific, mathematical, and practical treatment of subsurface engineering mechanics.

The module spans nine core areas of study—from Mohr-Coulomb shear strength, Atterberg plasticity, and Terzaghi 1D consolidation to shallow/deep foundation design, Rankine lateral earth pressure, rock mechanics, and ground improvement (deep soil mixing, stone columns, MICP). Key features include an interactive client-side Infinite Slope Stability and Landslide Factor of Safety canvas simulator, a cross-cutting foundation selection and ground improvement trade-off matrix, a fully worked Terzaghi ultimate and allowable bearing capacity problem, and three comprehensive tiers of assessment questions. Available online as an interactive curriculum module and permanently archived with a persistent DOI via Zenodo.
