Synopsis:

Introduction to the subject, literature, design principles, geotechnical categories

Strength and deformation characteristics of foundation soils, slab foundations

Limit states of flat foundations, calculation of bearing capacity and settlement of flat foundations

Deep foundations - typology, pile foundations, drilled and driven pile technology

Axial capacity of isolated piles, pile load tests

Determination of bearing capacity of transversely loaded piles, pile group

Micropiles, anchors, technology

Conventional and jet grouting, underground walls

Construction pits, technology of shoring of construction pits

Principles for the design and assessment of shoring structures, earth pressure, water effect

Calculation of shoring structures, pressure dependent methods

Dewatering of construction pits

Protection of foundation structures against the effects of aggressive environments

Requirements:

Mastery of basic concepts in the field of building foundations, understanding of the difference in approach (compared to other conventional building materials) to the design and assessment of foundation elements is required. Knowledge of the technological aspects of the implementation of individual foundation elements and structures, their advantages and disadvantages compared to other technologies is required. Mastery of basic analytical calculation methods for the structural design of foundation elements and structures is required.
