Students will gain special and technical skills and knowledge in the design of shallow and deep foundations for different geotechnical categories, and for safe and economic design of the building pit and get acquainted with modern methods of foundation engineering.

Types of foundation soils, properties of soils, limit states theory, basic principles of structural mechanics, strength, elasticity, and structure design.

Not applicable.

Teaching is carried out through lectures and seminars. Lectures consist of interpretations of basic principles, methodology of given discipline, problems and their exemplary solutions. Seminars particularly support practical mastery of subject matter presented in lectures or assigned for individual study with the active participation of students.

A condition for granting credit is elaboration of given programs. The exam will consist of a written test.

1. Introduction and content of the course, as an expression of geotechnical risk category and limit states of the underlying soil.
2. Shallow foundations (foot strip and plate), design and assessment - their reliability and technical risk.
3. Deep foundations (caissons, wells, piles), distribution of piles (displacement, replacement), drilled piles, CFA, pre-drived, vibe-pressured and micro piles. Technology of carrying out and utilization - their reliability and risk.
4. Design and assessment of axially loaded piles, load limit curve.
5. Diaphragm walls and blades diaphragm walls, technology, utilization.
6. Anchors and anchoring, design and implementation. Utilization.
7. Jet grouting, design and technology, utilization.
8. Earth (horizontal) pressure on the building structure. Types of support structures.
9. Foundation of pits -their timbering, rider bracing, pile and diaphragm walls - reliability and risk.
10. Improvement of soil, drainage of soil, and remediation underpinning foundations.
11. Geotechnical causes of failures of structures, analysis of problems associated with risks of foundation structures.
12. Landslides, setting up in the landslide area, landslide remediation.
13. Rock avalanches, protection and maintenance of rock slopes.

Not applicable.

Study aim of the subject is to gain knowledge and skills in the design of shallow and deep foundations for different geotechnical categories and design of safe and economical construction pit with modern methods of foundation engineering.
