Forms and criteria of assessment

Entry Knowledge

Soil properties, formation of soils, limit states theory, knowledge of structural mechanics and strength.

Aims

The students gain complex view on the soil behaviour for whole loading interval up to the limit state of rupture for the determination of the input material parameters of soils and rocks for numerical modelling of the structure-soil interaction.
