FE Civil Geotechnical Engineering

FE Civil Geotechnical Engineering: soil classification, phase relations, effective stress, shear strength, bearing capacity and settlement formulas.

Key Topics on the FE Exam

•A. Index properties and soil classifications
•B. Phase relations
•C. Laboratory and field tests
•D. Effective stress
•E. Stability of retaining structures (e.g., active/passive/at-rest pressure)
•F. Shear strength
•G. Bearing capacity
•H. Foundation types (e.g., spread footings, deep foundations, wall footings, mats)
•I. Consolidation and differential settlement
•J. Slope stability (e.g., fills, embankments, cuts, dams)
•K. Soil stabilization (e.g., chemical additives, geosynthetics)
