| Aim |
|---|
Student after completing the course
- has an overview of widespread soils, knows their properties and can interpret the engineering geology report of the construction site
- has an overview of design codes and other literature
- can determine loads for foundations and retaining walls
- can calculate the dimessions, bearing capacity and settlements of shallow foundations; can approximately determine the bearing capacity of pile.
- knows the basic constructuve solutions of shallow and pile foundations and can choose the optimal solution according to the spesific problem |
