The course aims to provide students with knowledge regarding the behaviour of shallow and deep foundations and retaining structures. Knowledge of the various methods available for the design of foundations with respect to the ultimate and serviceability limit states will be provided.
None
The course is divided into lessons and exercises; the latter are dedicated to the resolution of problems regarding the limit states of foundations and of soil-foundation interaction.
The exam consists of an oral exam after that exercises are completed.
