19	Objective of the Course:	The aim of this course is to show how to apply soil mechanics theory to foundation design. In lectures, types of foundations are defined and two important criteria for foundation design such as settlement and bearing capacity calculations are introduced. Moreover, types of retaining walls and their design methods are determined.
