(3 units). Non-linear analysis of stresses and deformations using the effective stress concept; analysis of consolidation using the excess pore water pressure concept; flow through porous media; finite element, discrete element and finite difference methods; applications to foundations of structures, retaining walls, dams, tunnels, pipelines, human-made and natural slopes in rock and soil. This course is equivalent to CIVJ 5105 at Carleton University. Course Component: Lecture
