Summary |
---|
The subject developes knowledge of fundamental of the rock and soil materials.
The both material types create natural structures in which
construction activities are commonly carried out or they also closely interfere
to manmade structures. Introductory lectures refer to the ground properties,
ground classification systems and fundamental constitutional laws of their
behaviour when subjected to the internal or external force acting. The
theoretical part after succeed chapters notifying the application tasks widely
met in the geotechnical engineering, praxis such as slope stability
engineering, earth pressures against supports, ground filters, drainage
building pits, compaction, consolidation, ground treatment, modelling, and
monitoring. The undergraduate will gain knowledge about the rock and soil
mechanics as an source information for the geotechnical engineering praxis. He
will learn to solve the geotechnical tasks involving in stress strain and
failure behaviour of ground structures. |
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
---|
Course provides a background knowledge of the Soil Mechanics essential to develope
next subjects such as Foundation, Underground and Geotechnical Constructions, etc. |
