Course Description
Soil mechanics is a branch of engineering mechanics that describes the behavior of soils. It differs from fluid mechanics and solid mechanics in the sense that soils consist of a heterogeneous mixture of fluids (usually air and water) and particles (usually clay, silt, sand and gravel) but soil may also contain organic solids, liquids, and gasses and other matter. Along with rock mechanics, soil mechanics provides the theoretical basis for analysis in geotechnical engineering. Soil mechanics is used to analyze the deformations of and flow of fluids within natural and man-made structures that are supported on or made of soil, or structures that are buried in soils. Examples applications are building and bridge foundations, retaining walls, dams, and buried pipeline systems.

Course Description
This course develops students' awareness of the qualitative behavior of fluids in typical situations so that models of problems can be set up for solution. Students learn to produce quantitative solutions for models derived from some useful applications in the fields of measurement and pipe flow; establish enough theoretical background to understand the range of validity of these basic solutions; and gain a basic understanding of terminology and theory for more advanced study in subsequent years.

Course Description
Students produce an outline design of an offshore floating structure in a two-day design project. Specific attention is placed on the calculation of the fluid loads arising due to buoyancy effects, surface water waves, steady currents, the combination of waves, and currents. Students are exposed to a complex design problem requiring the practical application of the modeling procedures introduced in the autumn term of the core Fluid Mechanics module (CI2-240). The emphasis of the work lies in both undertaking practical design calculations and in understanding the limitations of the solutions achieved
