Overview

Key Features

The Geotechnical Engineering program delivered at University of Oklahoma is designed to provide students with a fundamental understanding of:

The behavior of geologic media
Structures constructed on or using these geologic media
Contributions of geologic media to environmental problems and solutions.

Students may earn a master's or doctoral degree in civil engineering with an emphasis in geotechnical engineering or geoenvironmental engineering.

The Geotechnical Engineering program from the University of Oklahoma strongly encourages interaction between the various disciplines of soil mechanics, geomechanics and environmental engineering. The program emphasizes both analytical/numerical and experimental methods that aid in the advancement of modeling, analysis and design.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

static and dynamic behavior of soils;
soil-structure interaction; constitutive modeling;
unsaturated soil mechanics;
large- and small-scale laboratory evaluations of soil properties;
the influence of physicochemical properties on mechanical behavior of soils and in situ testing and centrifuge modeling of static and dynamic behavior of soils, including pollutant transport processes.
