This module presents the Cracking Characteristics of Fine-Grained Soils. You will learn about the process of obtaining the Tensile Strength of the soil based on Triaxial tests and the process of analyzing the development of the crack patterns over prolonged durations.

This module presents the Electrical Properties of Soils. You will learn about the parameters that are influencing the electrical properties of the Geomaterials and the process of determining the Electrical Properties of the Soil.

This module presents the Magnetic and Pore-Structure Characterization of Geomaterials. You will learn about the process determining the fabric structure of fine-grained soils using Scanning Electron Microscopy and the role of Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry in determining the porosity and pore size distribution of Geomaterials.
