EAPS 58100 - Structural And Engineering Geology Of Argillaceous Sediments

Credit Hours: 3.00. Structure, formation, and diagenesis of clay minerals, and engineering properties of argillaceous sediments. Geotechnical methods and plasticity are applied to analysis of natural deposits and geologic phenomena: glacial and lacustrine deposits, quick clays, debris flows, deltaic sediments, mudlumps, submarine slumps and flows, down-to-the-coast normal faults, mud volcanoes, shale diapirs, valley bulges, decollement tectonics. Prior course work in geology for engineers or surface processes, physical geology, and differential equations is required. Typically offered Fall Spring.
