Course Content
Geotechnical research methods. Field tests: standard penetration test, cone penetration test, pressure gauge test, terrain veyn test and field permeability test. Laboratory experiments of samples taken from field experiments. To determine the geotechnical properties of the field by using the results of the laboratory experiments. Using field tests in shallow and deep basic designs.
Objectives of the Course
Planning the field tests required to find the real values @f12@f13of the ground parameters in the field, to apply the results obtained in the field and the results obtained from the field in the laboratory.
