CVEEN 3315 - Geotechnical Lab

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Civil and Environmental Engineering

Description:

Laboratory experiments are conducted on various types of soils to provide a fundamental understanding of basic index and engineering properties of these materials. Experiments are conducted on the following topics: Sieve analysis, hydrometer analysis, Atterberg Limits (liquid and plastic limits), Proctor-type compaction, field density (sand cane), wetting-induced volume changes (swelling, shrinkage, collapse, and slaking), permeability (constant head and falling head), one-dimensional consolidation, and shearing strength (direct shear, unconfined compressions, and triaxial shear). Prerequisites: 'C' or better in (CVEEN 2140 AND (CVEEN 2310 OR ME EN 2550 OR AP Statistics score of 4+)) AND Full Major status in (Civil Engineering OR Construction Engineering) Corequisites: CVEEN 3310
