- Synopsis:
-
The course builds on the knowledge acquired by students of the Dynamics of Building Structures course. The student will get acquainted with the determination of the loading of geotechnical structures from natural and technical seismicity, will get an overview of the properties of dynamically loaded soils and rocks, including the procedures for determining these properties. In addition, the student will learn the basic procedures for assessing the effects of technical seismicity and earthquakes on selected geotechnical structures (slab foundations, frame and retaining walls, embankments, slopes, tunnels).
