This course is a core course for civil engineering majors in colleges and universities. It involves the physical properties of soil and engineering classification, the movement law of groundwater in soil, the calculation of stress in soil, the calculation of compressibility of soil and foundation settlement, the theory and test method of shear strength of soil, the calculation of earth pressure and the design of retaining walls, the stability analysis of soil slopes, the determination of foundation bearing capacity, shallow foundations on natural foundations, pile foundations and other deep foundations, and other related knowledge. According to the requirements of the training objectives of applied and innovative talents in Liaoning University of Engineering and Technology, following the general requirements of "three comprehensive education" and "one degree for both sexes", through classroom lectures, seminars, comprehensive training, geotechnical tests, academic or scientific and technological activities, etc., students have the ability to engage in foundation engineering design and construction, and support the training goal of civil engineering specialty "to have the professional and technical ability to engage in survey, design, construction and other professional technical ability in civil engineering related fields".
The objectives of the course "Soil Mechanics and Foundation" are as follows:
Objectives 1-Knowledge Objectives: Clear the physical properties of soil and the movement of groundwater in soil, can determine the physical properties of soil, determine the engineering categories of soil and determine the impact of groundwater movement on soil engineering; Understand the calculation method of soil stress, be able to carry out soil compressibility test and foundation settlement calculation; Master the shear strength theory of soil, can carry out shear strength test, earth pressure calculation and foundation bearing capacity determination. The curriculum content reflects the frontier and the times, the teaching form presents the advanced and interactive nature, the learning process has the inquiry and individuality, and cultivates students' good professional quality.
Objective 2-Ability Objective: Able to apply the basic theory of soil mechanics to practical engineering, with the ability of retaining wall design, slope stability analysis and prevention, shallow foundation design and pile foundation design on natural foundation; Through basic geotechnical tests, students have geotechnical experimental skills. Through comprehensive training, curriculum design and other links, students can further cultivate the comprehensive ability and practical ability to solve complex civil engineering problems by comprehensively using the basic principles of soil mechanics.
Curriculum Goal 3-Quality Goal: Forge students' scientific spirit and rigorous attitude, team cooperation and close cooperation consciousness, and improve students' ability of organization, coordination and communication; Develop the habit of self-learning, build the concept of lifelong learning, and improve the ability of independent learning and knowledge renewal; Cultivate students' awareness and habits of standardizing their own behavior according to the law, and improve students' ability to design and organize construction in accordance with current laws, regulations, standards or norms; Realize the "three comprehensive education", so that students have the spirit of craftsmen in a great country and the feelings of family and country, as well as the unique sun stone spirit of "unpretentious, tenacious, and selfless dedication" of Liaoning University of Engineering Technology.
Course Goal 4-Innovation Goal: By introducing the subject preface, organizing academic or scientific activities, and researching or innovative geotechnical experiments, students will be brought up with innovative consciousness, innovative thinking, innovative spirit and innovative ability, so that they can have the research and development ability of new materials, new structures, new schemes, new methods, new processes, etc. of basic engineering, as well as the ability to engage in scientific research.
