OBIETTIVI E CONTENUTI

OBIETTIVI FORMATIVI

The aim of the course is to analyse some of the main aspects related to soil-structure interaction phenomena occurring in built environment. Since the focus is on existing buildings, after a first part which deals with foundation types and methods used in practice for calculating settlements and bearing capacity, the problems of major concern, produced by external causes, both natural (e.g. slope movements, ground water oscillations, subsidence, etc.) and anthropogenic (e.g. deep excavations, surcharges, etc.), are detailed and studied in depth. The course also supplies to the students knowledge and skill on design guidelines and methods for possible intervention techniques on the foundation-soil system such as underpinning, reinforcement and ground improvement.

MODALITA' DIDATTICHE

This module uses lectures, tutorial exercises, case histories and practice exercises. Technical visits could also be organized.

PROGRAMMA/CONTENUTO

Existing buildings: foundation types; settlement and bearing capacity assessment approaches.

Analysis of geotechnical problems: natural (e.g. landslides and slope movements, earthquake and soil liquefaction) and anthropogenic (e.g. deep excavations, tunneling).

Damage levels and practical assessment methods.

Intervention techniques on the foundation-soil system:  underpinning, reinforcement and ground improvement.
