Lecturer(s): Eric VINCENS
TC ⋅ 28 h

Objectives

This course presents the design of the foundations of structures as well as the techniques for retaining soils in the works or final phase. It is based on knowledge of soil mechanics which should have been acquired through MOD2.6 or ELC-C6.

Keywords

shallow foundations, deep foundations, retaining wall, reinforcement

Programme

Shallow foundations Deep foundations Retaining walls and soil reinforcement
