Subject syllabus

General scope of the course:
Interactive systems and soil models; the effect on upper structure. The effect of subsoil cooperating with the stress-strain state of foundations, use of one-, two- and three-dimensional elements of the finite element method (FEM). Soil models, surface and three-dimensional soil models. Solution of strip and grid foundations, interaction of a strip and subsoil. Slab foundations and spatially acting box foundations of slabs and walls in interaction with ground conditions. Shallow and deep foundations in interaction with subsoil and the structure. Concrete floors and special foundations of engineering and underground structures. Soil improvement, strength and deformation characteristics, the effect on the state of stress. Prestressed foundation and floor constructions and their use. Reliability, design and assessment of foundation structures considering ultimate and serviceability limit states according to ČSN and ČSN EN.

Individual project:
The topic and the form of an individual project will be chosen by the teacher considering the scope of the thesis.
