The document outlines course units and objectives for soil mechanics and strength of materials laboratory courses. Unit III of the soil mechanics course covers stress distribution in soil, components of settlement, consolidation theory, and factors influencing soil compression. Unit IV addresses shear strength of cohesive and cohesionless soils. Unit V discusses slope stability mechanisms, infinite and finite slope analysis methods, and protection measures. The strength of materials laboratory objectives are to experimentally test materials under tension, compression, torsion, impact, and hardness. Listed experiments include tension, compression, shear, torsion, impact, and hardness tests on metals as well as deflection and compression tests on beams and springs. The hydraulic engineering laboratory is aimed for students to
