Institute of Geotechnics (GTN)

Student will master the basic principles of static design of concrete and timber structures. Students learn how to design shallow foundations. Students will be able to design deep foundations for different geotechnical categories. They will be able to design safe and economical sheeting and dewatering of foundation pits. They will learn how to design a suitable method for underpinning of objects at reconstruction and modernization.

Basic knowledge of structural mechanics, theory of elasticity, loads, basic principles of structure design, engineering geology.

Risks at foundation of objects, new technologies of special foundation methods, environmental geotechnics.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
The presented topic is practiced on credit examples including the parts individually discussed. Part of the exercise takes place in a classroom PC - application software for the solution of the problem.
Teaching includes optional lectures, field trips and workshops held currently in various projects.

Conditions of credit is to develope a final credit examples and satisfying attendance.
The exam will consist of written and oral part. Condition of the oral exam is a written test conditions.

1. Design of concrete elements due to service limit state.
2. Reinforced concrete framed structures.
3. Space floor slab structures - slabs bearing in two directions, grid structure.
4. Foundation structures – pads, continuous footings, rafts, slabs.
5. Properties of a timber and materials on the basis of a timber from the aspect of utilization in building
