Learning outcomes
The course represents the design application of the course of Ground Improvement and Slope Stability, which it is strictly integrated to. The student learns regulatory and execution issues of design approaches to one or more intervention methods for soil improvement. At the end, the student is able to develop the main aspects of design and calculation, also by using suitable numerical tools, and can critically interpret the relevant results.
Course contents
The module is aimed at the implementation of practical examples for the geotechnical design, through analytical and/or numerical methods, of one or more soil improvement interventions.
Readings/Bibliography
Lecture notes
Reference text-books from the main module of the integrated course
Supplementary technical and regulatory study material
Assessment methods
The exam is held together with the exam of the main module of the integrated course, with the same assessment methods. The student of this module is additionally required to prepare a technical report on one or more practical exercises concerning the geotechnical design of specific soil strengthening interventions developed during the module.
