Construction, Geotechnical Work For Documentation Of Forensic Cases; Case
Studies Of Legal Conflict Of Prominent Structures .

Course outcomes:
During this course, students will be trained:
 To predict the failure modes in geotechnical engineering before construction
of structures
 To understand the case histories for employing remedial techniques in the
design
 To design the structures to overcome the failure in geotechnical engineering
by understanding the behavior of soils
 To frame the guidelines for avoiding the legal aspects of geotechnical failures
by predicting and understanding the failure mechanism, their remedial
measures before the construction of the foundations.
