Course Contents
Soil-structure interaction of shallow and deep foundations, procedure for determining the soil stress distribution in the contact zone of shallow foundations (trapezoidal distribution, subgrade reaction analysis and stiffness modulus approach). Detailed knowledge of the time-settlement behaviour of cohesive soils (consolidation). Detailed introduction to the different types of piles and their installation and design. Design of statically and cyclically, vertically and horizontally loaded single piles and pile groups. Combined pile-raft foundation (CPRF). Observation method. Introduction to rock mechanics.

Official Course Description
[b]Qualifikationsziele / Lernergebnisse[/b]
The students are able to develop and design any deep foundation, taking into account the soil-structure interaction. Individual piles and pile groups with various loading conditions (vertical, horizontal, cyclic) can be designed. In addition, the students are able to predict the foundations settlement behaviour. They are able to plan and evaluate pile load tests. The consolidation settlements are discussed in details. The detailed knowledge of the various methods for determining the soil stress distribution for shallow and deep foundations enables the students to exchange the necessary information with the structural designer of the foundation in order to precisely describe parameters such as subgrade properties, stress concentrations and settlement behaviour. An introduction to rock mechanics teaches the students the basic principles of rock mechanics, the assessment of rock properties and the understanding of design principles.
