Students acquire at course to use contemporary methods for foundation soil study. Integral parts will be also observation method (mathematical and experimental modeling and field monitoring). Student will be lead to teamwork during the design of the geotechnical structure. The learning process will respect environmental aspects too. Supposed solutions of designs will be discussed with experinced experts during field works and excursions. Students obtain feedback for their designs.

The students have to know basics of geology, physics, solid mechanics, elasticity and plasticity and geomechanics.
