Various soil types as well as soil characteristics and types of soil exploration are presented. Based on this knowledge, various mechanical and structural problems are discussed and calculation methods for foundations, supporting structures, failure mechanisms of slopes, etc. are applied.
The course will be held online in the summer semester 2021. The meeting ID for the online lectures will be communicated via TISS-News or the corresponding TUWEL course.Examination mode in summer semester 2021:Exams will be held as "written online paper exams" and oral online exams until further notice. In this context, please refer to the COVID-19 Distance Examination Regulations of the Research Unit of Ground Engineering, Soil and Rock Mechanics.In case the holding of examinations in presence is permitted due to the requirements of the Federal Government or the TU Wien, a change to written and oral examinations in presence is carried out.
