| Evaluation: Approval of coursework/reports
|
| Examination: 13-scale |
| Previous course: 56351 + 56354 |
| Prerequisites: 56141 / 11413 |
| Preferred prerequisites: 56002 / 11401 Geology and applied mathematics. |
| Participant limitation: Max. 20 |
| Aim: To enable the participants - on the basis of a more advanced knowledge in soil strength and deformation characteristic to explain and to use simple mathematical models describing elastic, elastic plastic, and purely plastic behaviour of soil. - to understand the basis of, and to use (with computers) numerical methods to solve deformation and failure problems for pile foundations and for soil continua. - to know about a series of advanced soil mechanics experiments and model tests and to a certain extent be able to do the experiments, interpretate the results and use them in practice. |
| Contents: Constitutive equations for soils. Theory of consolidation. Advanced theory for pile foundations. Theory of plasticity for undrained clay and for sand. Advanced experimental soil mechanics (incl. triaxial tests). Model tests and centrifuge tests. Numerical methods in soil mechanics (incl. finite element method). |
