Learning outcomes of the course unit

Student will master the aim of the object - safe and economical design of building foundations at difficult geotechnical conditions, choice of optimum technological process. The design of slope stability. They will learn how to design a suitable method for underpinning of objects at reconstruction and modernization. Students will be able to choose the optimal technology for soil improvement.

Prerequisites

Types of foundation soils, properties of soils, limit states theory, foundation structures, underground structures, earth structures, basic principles of structural mechanics, theory of strength and elasticity, structure design.

Co-requisites

Risks at foundation of objects, risks at implementing of deep foundation pits shoring, new technologies of special foundation methods, environmental geotechnics, computational methods in geotechnical engineering.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The presented topic is practiced on seminary project including the parts individually discussed. Part of the exercise takes place in a classroom PC - application software for the solution of the problem. Part of the course is the presentation of the project.
Teaching includes optional lectures, field trips and workshops held currently in various projects.
Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
