CE 521 Theoretical and Computational Soil Mechanics
Presents a theoretical framework for soil properties and soil behavior. Topics include Cauchy stress tensors, Hooke’s elastic theory, plasticity theory, Mohr-Coulomb soil model, and modified Cam clay elasto-plastic soil model. Part of the course uses computer simulations of geotechnical laboratory tests with FLAC software to apply geomechanical theory.
