Environmental Geotechnology Detailed Syllabus for Environmental Engineering M.Tech first year second sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Environmental Geotechnology M.Tech 2017-2018 (R17) first year second sem is as follows.
M.Tech. I Year II Sem.
Course Objective: To develop a conceptual outlook on application of geotechnical concepts to the soil environment in general and soil-water interaction in particular.
Course Outcome:
- Knowledge of soil environment.
- Knowledge on mechanisms of soil-water interaction.
- An outlook on transport and retention of contaminants through soil.
UNIT – I : Soil as a multiphase system; Soil-environment interaction; Properties of water in relation to the porous media; Water cycle with special reference to soil medium. Soil mineralogy – Soil behavior – Mineralogical characterization.
UNIT – II : Mechanisms of soil-water interaction: Diffuse double layer models; Force of attraction and repulsion Soil-water-contaminant interaction; Theories of ion exchange; Influence of organic and inorganic chemical interaction.
UNIT – III : Introduction to unsaturated soil mechanics; Water retention property and soil-water characteristic curve; flow of water in unsaturated soil.
UNIT – IV : Concepts of waste containment facilities; desirable properties of soil; contaminant transport and retention; contaminated site remediation.
UNIT – V : Introduction to advanced soil characterization techniques; Volumetric water content; gas permeation in soil; electrical and thermal properties; pore-size distribution; contaminant analysis.
