ENGIN3202 Geotechnical Engineering
This is an intermediate level unit in geotechnical engineering where more in depth knowledge in this field is introduced and excelled. Topics include geotechnical site investigation practices, Introduction to AS2870 Residential Slabs & footings, analysis and design of shallow foundations,analysis and design of deep foundations, analysis of slope stability and design of retaining structures and introduction to environmental geotechniques. Upon completing this unit, students should be able to prepare a small scale site investigation program, Classify residential building sites and propose suitable footing systems for residential buildings, draw geological cross sections for geotechnical engineering design purpose using information obtained from geological map and site investigation, design basic shallow & deep foundations subjected to simple loading contitions, analyse stability of soil slopes & design retaining structures and describe fundemetal geoenviorenmental considerations applicable in the design of waste containment systems.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).
2025 contribution amount* $1,164
