The student will be able to define all types of structures and their stability, define the methods of determination of the structure deformation under the load , study the methods of analysis and internal forces determination of determinate and indeterminate structures ,study the methods used for analysis of structural elements due to moving loads using the influence lines. The student will also learn the methods of structural analysis and the theories used, application of different methods of structural analysis and the methods of presenting the actual structure, connection between the theoretical analysis and the actual engineering structures.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LABORATORY SOIL MECHANICS TESTING
Soil can exist as a naturally occurring material in its undisturbed state, or as a compacted material. Geotechnical engineering involves the understanding and prediction of the behavior of soil. Like other construction materials, soil possesses mechanical properties related to strength, compressibility, and permeability. It is important to quantify these properties to predict how soil will behave under field loading for the safe design of soil structures (e.g. embankments, dams, waste containment liners, highway base courses, etc.), as well as other structures that will overly the soil. Quantification of the mechanical properties of soil is performed in the laboratory using standardized laboratory tests.
The main objectives of a laboratory course in soil mechanics are to introduce soil mechanics laboratory techniques to civil engineering undergraduate students, and to familiarize the students with common geotechnical test methods, test standards, and terminology. The procedures for all of the tests described in this manual are written in accordance with applicable American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. It is important to be familiar with these standards to understand, interpret, and properly apply laboratory results obtained using a standardized method. Each test described in this manual has an associated ASTM standard number- Course creator: Dr. Maki Al-Waily
Soil mechanics
is defined as the application of the laws and principles of
mechanics and hydraulics to engineering problems dealing with
soil as an engineering material. Soil has many different
meanings, depending on the field of study. For example, in
agronomy (application of science to farming), soil is defined as
a surface deposit that contains mineral matter that originated
from the original weathering of rock and also contains organic
matter that has accumulated through the decomposition of plants
and animals. To an agronomist, soil is that material that has
been sufficiently altered and supplied with nutrients that it can
support the growth of plant roots. But to a geotechnical
engineer, soil has a much broader meaning and can include not
only agronomic material, but also broken-up fragments of rock,
volcanic ash, alluvium, Aeolian sand, glacial material, and any
other residual or transported product of rock weathering.
Difficulties naturally arise because there is not a distinct
dividing line between rock and soil. For example, to a geologist
a given material may be classified as a formational rock because
it belongs to a definite geologic environment, but to a
geotechnical engineer it may be sufficiently weathered or friable
that it should be classified as a soil
