| Aim(s) of Course |
: |
The basic aim of this course is to transfer evaluation methods of physical properties of soils related to civil engineering by using laboratuary testings. After fundamental definitions have been made, it is aimed that students will learn how laboratuary testings are done. Students will learn about parameters which will be used in the geotechnical problems. At the end of semester, students will be evaluated through presentation of laboratuary reports.
