	Objectives
	The Course of Fundamentals of Geotechnics follows the Course of Soil Mechanics and it provides to the students the methods and tools to tackle and solve problems for simple/complex geotechnical systems. The principal aims of the course are related to engineering practice; however, advanced theoretical advances are also proposed.

	Prerequisites
	Required knowledge is: the effective stress principle, stress-strain field in porous media; transient and steady-state seepage; principles of mechanical behavior of multiphase porous media.

	Contents
	Introduction to the Course. In-situ and laboratory investigations. Stress state and stress conditions. Deformation states and failure. Transient and steady-state seepage. Retaining works. Foundations. Slopes. Regulatory aspects.

	Teaching Methods
	Teaching includes lectures and classroom tutorials. The tutorials deal with the main topics of the course with particular attention to the applications.

	Verification of learning
	The achievement of the objectives of the course is assessed through an oral exam

	Texts
	Cascini L. (1993) - Appunti di Geotecnica. Edizioni CUSL, Potenza. Lancellotta R. (2004) - Geotecnica. Zanichelli Editore, Bologna. Didactic material prepared by the teacher.

	More Information
	Seminars and technical visits are also organized.
