### title

PHYSICOCHEMICAL BASIS OF SOIL BEHAVIOR

### description

Applications of physiochemical, mineralogical and environmental considerations to the engineering behavior of soils. Soil composition, formation, fabric, pore fluid chemistry and interaction of phases. The particulate nature of soils and the fabric-engineering property (volume change, strength, deformation and conduction) relationships. Knowledge of Soil Mechanics \[such asCIV ENGR/​G L E  330] is required.
