Earning knowledge about properties of geomaterials, their appropriate choice to mathematical simulation of foundations. Getting abilities to perform economical and safety design foundations structures in different geotechnical conditions .
Student get the knowledge about mechanical properties of the geomatrials with particular attention to the advanced constitutive material models.
The knowledge about the laboratory tests which should be chosen for their determination. The students will get familiar with special geotechnical software and also with standard software with to focus to foundations, such interaction of shallow foundations with deep foundations, retaining wall structures, etc.
The main aim is therefore to focus on the practical application of building foundations in the application of the above knowledge.

Soil formation, types of foundation soils, engineering geological investigation, strength and elasticity of materials, fundamentals of structural mechanics and soil mechanics.

Risks at foundation of objects, risks at implementing of deep foundation pits shoring, new technologies of special foundation methods, environmental geotechnics, computational methods in geotechnical engineering.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. The course consists of lectures and exercises. The lectures cover the theoretical part pertaining to the discussed topics. The application of knowledge gained in lectures is explained during the exercises. For a selected topic, either an expert lecture or an excursion will be a part of the course. Outside of lectures and exercises students also have the possibility to discu

Conditions of credit is to develope a final credit tasks and satisfying attendance.
The exam will consist of written (in the form of brief answers to questions such as including sketching graphs, a simple calculation) and oral part. Condition of the oral exam is a written test conditions.
