ENV2901 Soil and Water Engineering Practice 1 (FOENS)

Semester 2 (ONC)Toowoomba (EXT)Toowoomba

Units 0.0 (Civil Engineering) Band 2

Pre-requisite: ENV2103 or ENV1101

Recommended prior or concurrent study: CIV2401

Synopsis

The course is subdivided into practice modules covering aspects of Soil Mechanics and Hydraulics. Practice requirements for each module include testing and experimental work in a team environment, and subsequent data analyses and presentation of results on an individual basis. Students will be required to carry out soil tests to Australian standards to gauge various engineering properties of soils. Laboratory sessions in hydraulics provide for better understanding of relevant theory and calibration techniques for flow measuring devices through hands on experience.
