Study Objective:

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.
