Foundation Engineering in Difficult Conditions

Summary

Foundations in difficult conditions focuses on the design and implementation of foundation structures in geotechnically demanding conditions, such as soils with low bearing capacity, high groundwater levels, or polluted areas. The subject covers special foundation technologies, such as deep foundations, piles, micropiles, grouting and soil stabilization. The emphasis is placed on risk assessment, stability analysis and the selection of appropriate methods to ensure long-term stability and safety of structures in these conditions. focuses on the design and implementation of foundation structures in geotechnically demanding conditions, such as soils with low bearing capacity, high groundwater levels, or polluted areas.
