Office Hours:
Instead of fixed/physical office hours, I have an “always may e-mail to schedule or just drop-by” policy. At any time, you may come to my office or send me a message with your questions/comments/concerns/requests. I will try my best to respond as soon as possible within reason. Obviously, you may expect some delays outside of regular working hours.

Learning Outcomes:
- Plan a subsurface exploration, and select appropriate drilling, sampling and field property measurement tools for different soil profiles [B6]
- Create an idealized soil profile for analysis and design from collected soil properties [B6]
- Evaluate laboratory and field data to select appropriate parameters to use in foundation analysis [B5]
- Determine the lateral loads from soils [B2]
- Design earth retaining structures [B4]
- Apply shallow and deep bearing capacity and settlement equations for design with appli-cable correction factors with a consideration of water effects and layering [B2]
- Evaluate slope stability of natural and man-made excavations (fills and excavations) under varying conditions [B5]
