- elastoplastic (Hardening soil model, Cam clay model)
- hypoplastic for fine grained soils (Clay - Masin model, Sand - von Wolffersdorff),
- Multilaminate Model.
Influence of water:
- drained/ undrained conditions,
- stationary / non-stationary flow.
Consolidation.
Language of instruction
Czech
Number of ECTS credits
8
Mode of study
Not applicable.
Guarantor
Department
Institute of Geotechnics (GTN)
Entry knowledge
Soil properties, formation of soils, limit states theory, knowledge of structural mechanics and strength.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.
Aims
The students gain complex view on the soil behaviour for whole loading interval up to the limit state of rupture for the determination of the input material parameters of soils and rocks for numerical modelling of the structure-soil interaction.
