Course Details
Selected Articles of Geomechanics
Academic Year 2023/24
NFB019 course is part of 1 study plan
NPC-SIK Winter Semester 2nd year
The students obtain theoretical and practical knowledge about geotechnical structures at this course. The emphasis will be place on mechanical behaviour and mathematical modelling.
Theory is focused to extension and recap knowledge about mechanical behaviour of rock (soil) and soil-structure interaction (foundations, underground structures and deep excavation). Other topic is stress – strain analysis of reinforced soil structures.
Generally, numerical modelling will be focused to make of numerical models (e.g. choice of constitutive models; modelling of structure elements – nails, geogrids, anchors, lining etc.).
The discussion with geotechnical experts and excursions will be included during the course, too.
