Foundations
Lecturers: Stefan Kreiter
Foundations (Dr. Majid Goodarzi) form the physical basis of our civilization. All infrastructure has a connection to the solid earth through which loads and forces are transferred. Even so-called floating foundations are connected to anchors on the seabed. The famous "Siemens air hook" would be a big seller, but unfortunately it has not yet been invented.
In the course on foundations, simple shallow and deep foundations and special solutions in the field of foundations will be presented and the dimensioning will be discussed. The event is led and supervised by experienced civil engineers.
Students of applied geosciences are given an overview of the diverse world of foundations. Their function, special features and respective purposes. The design is explained using simple calculation examples. Each foundation type is reinforced by a self-study exercise. Core competence is to use the geotechnical and engineering geological knowledge of the subsurface for the soil/structure interface.
