    This document outlines the units of study for a soil mechanics course. Unit I introduces students to the nature of soil, classification systems, compaction, and field testing methods. Unit II covers soil water properties, permeability, seepage, and flow nets. Unit III discusses stress distribution in soils, compressibility, consolidation theory, and settlement. Unit IV focuses on shear strength of cohesive and cohesionless soils, shear testing methods, and drained and undrained behavior. Unit V is about slope stability, failure mechanisms, methods of stability analysis, and slope protection measures.
