GEOS8AD Geotechnical structures
| ECTS Credits : 2 Duration: 21 hours | Semester : S8 | ||
Person(s) in charge : Rasool MEHDIZADEH, Assistant Professor, rasool.mehdizadeh@univ-lorraine.fr | ||||
Keywords : Foundations, retaining structures, design | ||||
Prerequisites : Basics in Soil Mechanics (total or effective stress, strain, constitutive laws, etc.) | ||||
Objective : The objective of this course is to teach students geotechnical structure design (foundations, retaining structures, etc.). This course presents basic phenomena and mechanisms as well as their role in Eurocode 7 for the design of structures in civil engineering.
| ||||
Program and content: The course content includes the principal geotechnical structures used in civil engineering.
• Shallow foundations (1 class) • Deep foundations (1 class) • Retaining structures (2 classes) • Project (2 classes) | ||||
Abilities: | ||||
Levels | Description and operationnal verbs | |||
Know | Name and class the main types of geotechnical structures in function of their construction and behaviour | |||
understand | Explain the hypothesis constraining the methods used for the structure dimensioning | |||
Apply | Use the main methods and formula seen during the course | |||
Analyse | Analyse of complex structures needing specific sets of different methods | |||
Summarise | Be able to mobilize all the acquired abilities to simplify the analysis of complex structures. Be able to test the influence of uncertainties associated to the data and models to check the reliability of results | |||
Assess | Be able to interpret results versus their physical efficiency | |||
