課程概述

Course Description
Validate and better understand the soil mechanism and erosion theories through hands-on experience. The experiments include soil mechanical and hydraulic properties, soil classification, and rainfall erosion. Determining these soil properties serve as a useful tool in the design of field campaigns, because it affords the selection of important parameters, measurement locations, and time periods.

In addition, every meeting time includes a lecture of 20 to 30 minutes that addresses the related theoretical concepts.

Class Participation
Your active participation in all the laboratories is strongly expected and it will influence your final grade. Each group will perform all the experiments and every member is expected to cooperate during the lab.

(1) Soil Moisture Content
(2) Soil Specific Gravity
(3) Mechanical Analysis of Soils: Sieve Analysis
(4) Mechanical Analysis of Soils: Hydrometer Analysis
(5) Soil Liquid and Limits
(6) Soil Permeability (Constant and variable head tests)
(7) Soil Shear Test: Direct Shear Test
(8) Soil Shear Test: Unconfined Compression Strength Test (Cohesive Soil)
(9) One-Dimensional Consolidation Test
(10) Soil Compaction Test
(11) Soil Triaxial Test: Unconsolidated Undrained (UU Test)
 

課程目標
Aimed to perform common soil mechanics tests in order to better understand soils behavior. By taking this course, one is expected to be able to identify physical and mechanical properties of soil in the field and laboratory settings, and be familiar with laboratory test standards and procedures (e.g., set by the American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM). These include preparing soil samples for testing, performing the test, collecting and analyzing data, interpreting the results and writing technical reports.

Develop abilities to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
• Perform common soil tests to identify physical and mechanical properties of soils.
• Be familiar with soil mechanics tests and determines which test is needed in designing civil engineering projects and/or solving engineering problems.
• Prepare soil samples for testing, performing the test, collecting and analyzing data according to ASTM.
• Apply the laboratory results to problem identification, quantification, and basic soil mechanics related design problem.
• Demonstrate the ability to write clear technical lab reports.
• Use word processors and other modern software packages in writing and finishing the report.
• Demonstrate the ability to work in groups.
• Understand and apply ethical issues associated with decision making and professional conduct in the lab and field environment.

Class Policies
All students are expected to attend all the classes, lectures and laboratory sessions. Students are expected to arrive to class on time and prepared to work. Students absent from lectures and laboratories will be responsible for all material covered during the sessions. Missing more than 2 lectures and 1 lab may result in administrative drop of the class. If you need to be absent from the class with a justifiable reason (sickness, family obligations, jury duties, etc), you must inform the instructor in advance.

Assignments
Only one submission is required for group reports. Normally, the reports are due one week from the date a set of tests are performed unless it is announced in the class. If report turned in late, 20% points will be deducted from the actual grade for each late day.

Notes
Students are required to clean the lab after each experiment. Students are required to attend for some tests at a different time schedule. This syllabus may be subject to slight changes in the future with the prior notice.
 
預期每週課後學習時數
The final grade will be determined by the following constraints.

Reports 40%
Final exam 40%
Participation 10%
Peer evaluation at the end of the semester will affect the final grades: 10%

Academic Integrity Policy
Academic integrity is essential to maintaining an environment that fosters excellence in teaching, research, and other educational and scholarly activities. It is expected that all students have read and understand the university’s Academic Regulations (國立臺灣大學學則, https://www.aca.ntu.edu.tw/w/aca/UAADRules), and that all students will complete all academic and scholarly assignments with fairness and honesty. Students must recognize that failure to follow the rules and guidelines established in the university’s Academic Regulations and this syllabus may constitute “Academic Misconduct”.

The National Taiwan University’s Academic Regulations (Articles 32 and 88) do not have a clear definition of academic misconduct. Though, examples of academic misconduct include (but are not
limited to) plagiarism, collusion (unauthorized collaboration), copying the work of another
student, and possession of unauthorized materials during an examination. Ignorance of the
university’s Code of Student Conduct is never considered an excuse for academic misconduct.

The sanctions for the misconduct could include a failing grade in this course and suspension or dismissal from the university. If you have any questions about the above policy or what constitutes academic misconduct in this course, please contact me.

Creating an Environment Free from Harassment, Discrimination, and Sexual Misconduct
National Taiwan University is committed to building and maintaining a community to reflect diversity and to improve opportunities for all. All people have the right to be free from harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct. Taiwan does not discriminate on the basis of age, ancestry, color, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, genetic information, HIV/AIDS status, military status, national origin, pregnancy (childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, or recovery therefrom), race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or protected veteran status, or any other bases under the law, in its activities, academic programs, admission, and employment. Members of the university community also have the right to be free from all forms of sexual misconduct: sexual harassment, sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking, and sexual exploitation.
To report harassment, discrimination, sexual misconduct, or retaliation and/or seek confidential and non-confidential resources and supportive measures, contact the Gender Education Quality Committee:
1. Reporting instruction at https://webpageprodvm.ntu.edu.tw/gender,
2. Call 02-3366-9607,
3. Or Email gender@ntu.edu.tw

The university is committed to stopping sexual misconduct, preventing its recurrence, eliminating any hostile environment, and remedying its discriminatory effects. All university employees have reporting responsibilities to the Gender Education Quality Committee to ensure the university can take appropriate action:
• All university employees, except those exempted by legal privilege of confidentiality or expressly identified as a confidential reporter, have an obligation to report incidents of sexual assault immediately.
• The following employees have an obligation to report all other forms of sexual misconduct as soon as practicable but at most within five workdays of becoming aware of such information: 1. Any human resource professional (HRP); 2. Anyone who supervises faculty, staff, students, or volunteers; 3. Chair/director; and 4. Faculty member.

Your Mental Health
As a student you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained relationships, increased anxiety, alcohol/drug problems, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or lack of motivation. These mental health concerns or stressful events may lead to diminished academic performance or reduce a student's ability to participate in daily activities. No matter where you are engaged in distance learning, National Taiwan University’s Student Counseling Center (SCC) is here to support you. If you find yourself feeling isolated, anxious or overwhelmed, on-demand mental health resources (scc_osa.ntu.edu.tw/en/Services) are available. You can reach an on-call counselor when SCC is closed at 1995 provided by the Taiwan Lifeline International. 24-hour emergency help is available through the Ministry of Health and Welfare by calling 1925.

Accessibility Accommodations for Students with Disabilities
The university strives to make all learning experiences as accessible as possible. If you anticipate or experience academic barriers based on your disability including mental health, chronic or temporary medical conditions, please let me know immediately so that we can privately discuss options. To establish reasonable accommodations, I may request that you contact with Disability Support Services (DSS, https://dss.ntu.edu.tw/en).
