Unit Code: CED608

Unit Name: Subsurface Investigation Methods

Description: Project supervision and quality inspection of materials used for construction is very important for successful completion and sustainability of any project. Generally, most of the infrastructure projects such as roads, buildings etc will be built on soil mass. Soil strength and compressibility estimation through laboratory and field testing of soils is important. This course will give you exposure about sampling techniques, sample collection and storage, laboratory and field testing of soils. You will thoroughly understand how to carry out subsoil exploration for a particular infrastructure project. And also you will learn how to prepare bore log details and also help you how to understand the geotechnical parameters from the given soil report. You will use spread sheets and IT tools for preparation of soil profiles.
