What it is about

The module covers the behavior of soils under cyclic, alternating, and dynamic loading with a special focus on earthquake effects. You will learn to analyze and evaluate dynamic soil processes as well as to design foundations, excavation supports and slopes under seismic demand.

What you will be able to do

  • Select laboratory and field experiments to investigate cyclic soil behavior
  • Evaluate experiments
  • Calculate the dynamic response of soils with linear and nonlinear wave propagation models
  • Analyze liquefaction potential using empirical and numerical methods
  • Estimate settlement due to earthquakes
  • Assess slope stability under earthquakes
  • Design excavation walls as well as shallow and deep foundations for seismic loading
  • Predict penetration behavior of rammed piles
  • Determine dynamic equivalent stiffness of shallow and deep foundations
  • Apply numerical methods for the analysis of dynamic soil-structure interaction
