After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

• apply the basics of dynamics to problems of soil mechanics,
• distinguish seismic waves,
• describe methods of dynamic testing,
• explicate methods of dynamic compaction,
• explain systems for work integrated compaction control,
• solve simple numeric examples.

Introduction to basics of Soil Dynamics.
The course focuses on applications, e.g. dynamic compaction with various techniques, dynamic compaction control methods, etc., the presentation of experimental methods and numerical simulations.
Basic theoretical knowledge on dynamics (SDOF, MDOF, calculation methods, etc.) is required.

Intorduction to basics of soil dynamics and development of basic knowledge about seismic waves, dynamic testing and compaction as well as work integrated compaction control systems by means of examples of application and simple numeric examples.
