Geosynthetics and Reinforced Soil Structures

Prof. K. Rajagopal Prof. Dali Naidu Arnepalli · Andhra University IIT Madras

Start with lecture 1 At NPTEL

About

This course will dealt with the geosynthetics as construction materials in civil engineering projects. It will introduce the concept of geosynthetics, their manufacture and their behavior and their applications in different civil engineering designs. The support for the course will be in the form of pre-recorded videos, power point slides and supplementary reading materials given every week.

INTENDED AUDIENC: Two basic courses in geotechnical engineering at UG level that covers fundamentals of soil mechanics and designs of retaining walls, slope stability analysis and foundations is the required background for this course.

Prerequisites: Soil Mechanics/Geotechnical Engineering I - https://nptel.ac.in/courses/105105168
