Katalogdaten
| Kurzbeschreibung | Overview of soil behaviour Explanation of typical applications: reality, modelling, laboratory tests with transfer of results to the practical examples Consolidation theory and typical applications in practice Triaxial & direct shear tests: consolidation & shear, drained & undrained response Plasticity theory & Critical State Soil Mechanics, Cam Clay Application of plasticity theory |
| Lernziel | Extend knowledge of theoretical approaches that can be used to describe soil behaviour to enable students to carry out more advanced geotechnical design and to plan the appropriate laboratory tests to obtain relevant parameters for coupled plasticity models of soil behaviour. A further goal is to give students the wherewithal to be able to select an appropriate constitutive model and set up insitu stress conditions in preparation for subsequent numerical modelling (e.g. with finite elements). |
| Inhalt | Overview of soil behaviour Discussion of general gaps between basic theory and soil response Stress paths in practice & in laboratory tests Explanation of typical applications: reality, modelling, laboratory tests with transfer of results to the practical examples Consolidation theory for incremental and continuous loading oedometer tests and typical applications in practice Triaxial & direct shear tests: consolidation & shear, drained & undrained response Plasticity theory & Critical State Soil Mechanics, Cam Clay Application of plasticity theory |

| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Lectures will be conducted as Problem Based Learning within the framework of a case history Virtual laboratory in support of 'hands-on' experience of selected laboratory tests Pre-requirements: Basic knowledge in soil mechanics as well as knowledge of advanced mechanics Laboratory equipment will be available for 60 students. First priority goes to those registered for the geotechnics specialty in the Masters, 2nd year students then first year students, doctoral students qualifying officially for their PhD status and then 'first come, first served'. |
Leistungskontrolle
| Information zur Leistungskontrolle (gültig bis die Lerneinheit neu gelesen wird) | |
Leistungskontrolle als Semesterkurs | |
| ECTS Kreditpunkte | 6 KP |
| Prüfende | R. Herzog, O. Adamidis, I. Anastasopoulos |
| Form | Sessionsprüfung |
| Prüfungssprache | Englisch |
| Repetition | Die Leistungskontrolle wird nur in der Session nach der Lerneinheit angeboten. Die Repetition ist nur nach erneuter Belegung möglich. |
| Prüfungsmodus | schriftlich 120 Minuten |
| Zusatzinformation zum Prüfungsmodus | The laboratory exercises in experimental soil mechanics count as graded semester performance compulsory continuous performance assessments. The final grade is made from 40% of the graded semester performance compulsory continuous performance assessments and 60% of the session examination. If the session examination has to be repeated the graded semester performance does not need to be repeated providing a sufficient grade for the graded semester performance has been achieved. The exercises in theoretical soil mechanics as a voluntary learning task will be graded and can improve the total course unit grade by up to 0.25 grade points. |
| Hilfsmittel schriftlich | No aids, calculator without programming-communication capabilities |
