Objectives
THE COURSE ON “FOUNDATIONS” IS AIMED AT PROVIDING THE ALUMNI WITH THE NECESSARY TOOLS FOR THE DESIGN, ON THE BASIS OF THE ITALIAN REGULATIONS, OF THE STRUCTURES (OF BOTH SHALLOW AND DEEP TYPES) CONNECTING THE SUPERSTRUCTURES TO THE SUBSOIL.
Prerequisites
THE PREREQUISITES ARE: THE EFFECTIVE STRESS PRINCIPLE; THE ESTIMATION OF THE STRESS AND STRAIN STATES IN MULTI-PHASE POROUS MEDIA; THE STEADY-STATE AND TRANSIENT SEEPAGE IN THE SOILS; THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF THE MULTU-PHASE POROUS MEDIA.
Contents
GENERAL CRITERIA OF FOUNDATION DESIGN. SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS: TYPES, ULTIMATE LIMITE STATES (COLLAPSE MECHANISMS, BEARING CAPACITY FORMULA IN STATIC AND SEISMIC CONDITIONS), SERVICEABILITY LIMIT STATES (METHODS FOR SETTLEMENT CALCULATION IN FINE-GRAINED AND COARSE-GRAINED SOILS, DAMAGEABILITY CRITERIA). SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION MODELS. DEEP FOUNDATIONS: TYPES, ULTIMATE LIMIT STATES UNDER VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL LOADS (SINGLE PILE AND GROUP OF PILES), SERVICEABILITY LIMIT STATES (SINGLE PILE AND GROUP OF PILES), RAFT-PILED FOUNDATIONS, INERTIAL AND KINEMATIC INTERACTION. DESIGN RULES IN FORCE.
Teaching Methods
THE TEACHING INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS AND TUTORIAL ACTIVITIES. THE TUTORIALS DEAL WITH THE PRINCIPAL TOPICS OF THE COURSE, WITH A PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE ASPECTS RELATED TO PRACTICE.
Verification of learning
THE EVALUATION OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE FIXED PURPOSES IS CARRIED OUT VIA AN ORAL EXAM.
