CEE 560 Case Studies in Geotechnical and Geo-environmental Engineering

Focuses on techniques and procedures used to obtain design data and complete actual geotechnical and geo-environmental designs of facilities located within the region. Presents as short design projects a series of case histories covering broad aspects of design, including shallow foundations, deep foundations, ground improvement, slope stability, geotechnical or environmental design in karst terrain, design of waste containment liner systems, design of petroleum contamination remediation systems, and completing environmental site assessments or audits. Students will submit brief reports on their analysis and proposed design. . Prerequisites: CE 366, CE 468.
