| Learning outcomes: After successfully completing this module, students will: - have basic knowledge in (engineering) geology, in the description and classification of soils and in ground investigation - be able to classify the variable that influence soil-mechanical parameters with regard to their interaction on the system structure/building ground - be able to "read" geotechnical reports resp. apply their results to the design of structures - be able to identify and implement issues specific to respective building sites [updated 28.09.2020] |
