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.

Teaching Assistant(s):

Ömer Can Pamuk (omer.pamuk@tedu.edu.tr)

(same policy outlined above for office hours)

Learning Outcomes:
  1. Plan a subsurface exploration, and select appropriate drilling, sampling and field property measurement tools for different soil profiles [B6]
  2. Create an idealized soil profile for analysis and design from collected soil properties [B6]
  3. Evaluate laboratory and field data to select appropriate parameters to use in foundation analysis [B5]
  4. Determine the lateral loads from soils [B2]
  5. Design earth retaining structures [B4]
  6. 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]
  7. Evaluate slope stability of natural and man-made excavations (fills and excavations) under varying conditions [B5]
