Course description

To conceive soils and rocks as porous media governed by Solid and Fluid Mechanics. To characterize the geological environment and its interaction with civil works. To interpret laboratory tests and field observations so as to identify the mechanisms responsible for soil response. To propose testing programmes. To analyze, discriminate and integrate geological and geotechnical information in studies and projects. To apply the knowledge on soil and rock mechanics to the development of the study, design, construction and exploitation of foundations, excavations, embankments, tunnels and other constructions on or through the soils, regardless of their nature and state or the finality of the works under study (Specific competence of the specialties in Geotechnical Engineering and Earthquake Engineering and Geophysics). To dimension civil structures in the presence of seismic forces. To dimension corrective solutions. (Specific competence of the specialization in Earthquake Engineering and Geophysics). To assess seismic risks. To plan and dimension risk reduction measures. (Specific competence of the specialization in Earthquake Engineering and Geophysics). To identify all types of structures and materials. To design, plan, implement and maintain structures and buildings in civil works. (Specific competence of the specialization in Earthquake Engineering and Geophysics). To analyze the structures, by applying advanced methods, design software and structural calculations, from the knowledge and understanding of the forces and their application to the structural typologies used of civil engineering. To perform structural integrity assessment. (Specific competence of the specialization in Earthquake Engineering and Geophysics).
