	Objectives
	THE COURSE ON “GEOTECHNICS” IS AIMED AT PROVIDING THE ALUMNI WITH THE KNOWLEDGE ON THE MECHANICS OF SATURATED SOILS. THANKS TO THE SYSTEMATIC USE OF THE LAWS GOVERNING THE BEHAVIOR OF THE MULTI-PHASE POROUS MEDIA, THE COURSE IS ALSO ORIENTED TO HIGHLIGHT HOW THE ANALYSIS OF GEOTECHNICAL BOUNDARY PROBLEMS DEPENDS ON A PROPER KNOWLEDGE AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE REFERENCE PHYSICAL CONTEXT AS WELL AS ON AN ADEQUATE INDIVIDUATION AND SOLUTION OF THE EQUATION GOVERNING THE PROBLEM AT HAND.

	Prerequisites
	THE PREREQUISITES ARE: THE CONCEPT OF STRESS AND STRAIN; THEIR REPRESENTATION VIA MOHR CIRCLES; THEORY OF ELASTICITY; HYDRAULIC GRADIENT. THE COURSE OF STRUCTURAL MECHANICS IS PROPEDEUTICAL.

	Contents
	IN-SITU INVESTIGATIONS AND LABORATORY TESTS FOR SOIL IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION (13 HOURS OF LESSON, 4 HOURS OF EXCERCISE). STRESS STATE IN SATURATED POROUS MEDIA (3 HOURS OF LESSON, 1 HOUR OF EXCERCISE). STEADY-STATE SEEPAGE AND TRANSIENT PHENOMENA (8 HOURS OF LESSON, 2 HOURS OF EXCERCISE). MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SOILS IN PRE-FAILURE CONDITIONS (8 HOURS OF LESSON, 2 HOURS OF EXCERCISE) AND AT FAILURE (11 HOURS OF LESSON, 3 HOURS OF EXCERCISE). BUILDING WORKS OF PRACTICAL INTEREST: FOUNDATIONS - SHALLOW AND PILED (17 HOURS OF LESSON, 7 HOURS OF EXCERCISE) AND RETAINING STRUCTURES (DIAPHRAGM AND RETAINING WALLS) (8 HOURS OF LESSON, 3 HOURS OF EXCERCISE).

	Teaching Methods
	THE TEACHING INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS (6.8 CFU) AND TUTORIAL ACTIVITIES (2.2 CFU). THE TUTORIALS DEAL WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A REPORT ON THE PRINCIPAL TOPICS OF THE COURSE, WITH A PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE ASPECTS RELATED TO PRACTICE. SEMINARS AND A TECHNICAL VISIT ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE ARE ALSO SCHEDULED. ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED.

	Verification of learning
	THE EVALUATION OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE PRE-ESTABLISHED OBJECTIVES WILL TAKE PLACE BY WAY OF AN ORAL EXAM SCHEDULED AT THE END OF THE COURSE. THIS ORAL EXAM (OF ABOUT ONE HOUR) IS NORMALLY COMPRISED OF THREE QUESTIONS ON THEORETICAL, EXPERIMENTAL AND PRACTICAL ISSUES ADDRESSED IN THE TEACHING ACTIVITIES (STARTING FROM THOSE COVERED BY THE EXERCISES WHOSE RESOLUTIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT TO BE DELIVERED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EXAM). THIS ORAL EXAM IS AIMED AT VERIFYING - ON THE BASIS OF THE PERTINENCE AND COMPLETENESS OF THE ANSWERS GIVEN - THE LEVEL OF DEEPENING OF KNOWLEDGE, THE ABILITY TO LINK THE ARGUMENTS, THE QUALITIES OF CLARITY AND CRITICAL SYNTHESIS OF THE STUDENT. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE LAUDE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, THE FULL SATISFACTION OF ALL THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.
