CEGR 3258 Geotechnical Engineering Lab Tests to determine engineering properties of soils; consistency, permeability, shear strength, and consolidation. Data analysis, presentation and report writing.
Course Page                             (Fall 2005)

CEGR 3278 Geotechnical Engineering Soil origin, formation, composition, and classification; permeability; seepage; soil mechanics principles, including stresses, shear strength, and consolidation; foundations, retaining structures, and slope stability. Integration of design and technical reporting.
Course Files                               (Summer 2004)

CEGR 4278. Geotechnical Engineering II
Design of shallow and deep foundations, including structural considerations; lateral earth pressure theories; design of rigid and flexible earth retaining structures; advanced aspects of slope stability analysis; and computer applications.

CEGR 4090/5090. Deep Foundation Engineering
Covers the design and construction of both drilled shafts and driven pile groups. For driven piles, estimation of static capacity and deformation from conventional and insitu methods are covered, along with drivability (GRLWEAP) and dynamic capacities (PDA, FHWA, etc). Drilled shaft design covers FHWA methods for estimating capacity in soils, and FDOT's method in rock. Group behavior is modeled with FBPier for both driven piles and drilled shafts.

CEGR 3202. Systems and Design II
Course Files                               (Spring 2005)

CEGR 4090/5090. Shallow Foundation Engineering
Course covers the analysis and design of spread footing foundations in depth with an emphasis on computer aided design methods.  Topics include, tolerable settlement, stress distributions, elastic settlement of footings on cohesionless and cohesive using soil parameter and insitu test based methods,  consolidation analysis of foundations on clay, general and local shear bearing capcacity, and structural design of spread footings.                                     (Fall 2004)

CEGR 6268 Advanced Soil Mechanics
This course is designed to provide the student with a rigorous study of fundamental soil mechanics from a classical text. Topics include: particulate behavior, stresses in a soil mass, shear resistance, soil formation, stress strain behavior, shear strength, effective stresss, 1 and 2-D fluid flow, permeability, drained strength, pore pressure, consolidation, undrained stress strain behavior, and undrained shear strength.
