Why is Imperial College so well-known in Soil Mechanics?
Imperial College is well-known for making key advances in soil mechanics such as field instrumentation, residual strength measurements, local strain measurement of soil samples, direct soil suction measurements, advanced numerical modelling procedures, constitutive models and hollow cylinder soil testing techniques. We also strive to give our MSc students a broad knowledge of practical engineering, understanding the realities of the physical world as well as the elegant theories. We focus on the key processes that control a range of different geotechnical problems, ensuring that our graduates know the relative merits and drawbacks of potential solutions do not aim to daunt our students with theory and equations alone.
