Structural and geotechnical design  

Description

This course aims to provide the basic knowledge required for the structural and geotechnical design of reinforced-concrete (r.c.) structures, with particular attention to those with earth retaining function. The course covers the following main topics: earth and pore water pressure; methods for the analysis of the geotechnical failure mechanisms for earth retaining walls; geotechnical investigations and field tests; structural design approaches for r.c. structures oriented to the design of wall, slabs and foundations. At the end of this course, the students will be able to define a geotechnical model and carry out the geotechnical and structural design by limit state approach of r.c. structures with earth retaining function.
