Learning outcomes

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.

Subject of course

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.

Teaching methods

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.

Mode of examination

Written

Additional information

Examination mode in winter semester 2021:

Exams will be held as "written online paper exams" until further notice. Please note that as of 19.11.2020 the Covid-19 distance examination regulations of the Research Unit for Ground Engineering, Soil and Rock Mechanics come into force and are valid until revoked!
In case the holding of examinations in presence is permitted due to the requirements of the Federal Government or the TU Wien, a change to written examinations in presence is carried out. Examination duration and assessment scheme remain unaffected.
