Course description
(Outline and purpose of class)
Construction structures are constructed on or under the ground. There are also structures that are built with soil, such as embankments. "Soil mechanics" is a study of the ground in the construction field.
The main purpose of "Mechanics of soil" is to recognize the properties of the soil material that composes this ground and to understand the properties and behavior of the soil. In particular, the study focuses on understanding the nature of soil as a granular material, the concept of water permeability and effective stress in the ground.

(Attainment target)
As stated in the above objectives, the goal is to recognize the properties of soil as granular material and to fully understand the concept of soil permeability and effective stress.
Purpose of class
Learn the basics of soil mechanics.
