No longer offered. It’s in the archived Graduate Calendars from Fall 2006 (the oldest one online) to Spring 2010.
Experimental research methodology: measurement theory, errors, statistics, models and similarity, scale effects and boundary effects, analogies, static and geotechnical centrifuge modelling. Transducers and instruments: from the Bourdon tube to fibre optics and CAT scan. Geomedia behaviour: micro study of soil grains, water, and related geotechnical and geoenvironmental phenomena; energy, gradients and coupled phenomena, mechanics of particulate media and load testing, time-dependent processes in rocks and soils.
