本课程教学目的是使学生掌握滨海、海岸地区软土的土力学特性、变形控制、软土地基加固技术的基本理论和方法。掌握软土地区调查与评价的方法。课程内容包括软土的成因和土力学性质，软土地基的稳定性评价与承载力问题，软土地基的变形与其影响因素分析，软土地基基础的设计、施工中的主要问题，软土地基的处理技术，以及软土地基中地下工程的设计理论与施工方法。Soft soil is a special soil widely contributing in the coastal and marine area. The purpose of this subject is to have students known not only the basic mechanical behavior of soft soil, and the basic principle and methods to control the deformation, and foundation reinforcement technique in soft soil, but also the investigation methods in the soft soil area and the evaluation method of the soft soil. The contents of this subject includes forming mechanism and soil mechanical behavior, stability and capacity evaluation method for the soft soil ground, analysis method for the deformation and its affecting factors on soft soil ground, main problems in the design and execution of foundation at soft soil ground, reinforcement technique of soft soil ground, and the design theory and execution method for the underground structure in the soft soil ground.
