2. Constitutive Laws for Soil (15 hrs)
2.1 Elasticity
2.2 Incremental nonlinear elastic (Hyperbolic)
2.3 Soil plasticity
2.4 Critical state soil mechanics
2.5 Incremental nonlinear elasto-plastic (Cam-Clay and Modified Cam-Clay models)
2.6 Constitutive modeling for sands
3.Engineering behaviors of unsaturated soils (15 hrs.)
