    This document provides information about the Advanced Soil Mechanics course CE 6310. It includes details about the instructors, class times, course contents which cover topics like stresses and strains in soils, stress and strain paths, laboratory testing, compression and consolidation. The grading policy and textbooks are also mentioned. The course will focus on advanced topics in soil mechanics including critical state concepts, behavior of overconsolidated soils through mid-semester and final exams, assignments and class participation. Plagiarism on assignments or exams will result in an F grade for both students involved.
