Prerequisiti:
|
Basics of geology and stratigraphy, types of rocks and lithologies. Elements of solid and fluid mechanics. Basics of geotechnical engineering. |
Conoscenze e abilita' da acquisire:
|
At the end of the course, the student will gain a basic and intermediate understanding of rock mechanics and soil mechanics, rock and soil mass characteristics, mass movement classification and characterization, slope stability, static and dynamic liquefaction analysis, site investigations and site monitoring, levee failure mechanisms and stability calculation. In terms of acquired skills, the course will provide the ability to plan and execute rock mass field and laboratory analysis, soil characterization and field testing, mapping and classification of landslides at different spatial scales, slope stability analysis, levee instability analysis. |
Modalita' di esame:
|
The exam will be based on a written examination (with a combined multiple-response + open response questions + exercises) eventually followed by an oral examination that may cover all aspects of the program. Depending on logistics and teaching conditions, the exam may also consist of a written and orally discussed report on a specific case study analysis with real data provided by the teachers. |
Criteri di valutazione:
|
To assess the student’s performance, both the ability to solve problems related to the course topics and the level of understanding of the theoretical part will be evaluated, through the exam tests. |
Contenuti:
|
The course is divided in two parts: geological engineering and geotechnical engineering. 1) Geological Engineering: elements of geology that enable the student to understand shallow to superficial geological phenomena that interact with surface environmental processes. Fundamentals of rock mechanics. Rock mass characterization in the field and in the lab. Engineering geological investigations and mapping. General behaviour of the different rock types. Main engineering problems and solutions in complex geological settings. Landslides, debris flows, subsidence. Landslide classification, mapping and characterization. Factors and causes of landslides. 2) Geotechnical Engineering: Basic concepts of soil mechanics to provide to the students the basic elements to understand the behaviour of the multiphase porous media. Interaction among particles, water, and gas in the soil. Concept of volume fraction. Principle of effective stress; coupled and uncoupled problems. Seepage flow and seepage force. Static and dynamic liquefaction. Basics of characterization in the laboratory and on site. Applications to the solution of geotechnical problems related to the safeguard of the environment such as slope stability, levee embankment safety evaluation. |
Attivita' di apprendimento previste e metodologie di insegnamento:
|
The course will be based on a combination of theoretical lectures and practical exercises. Specific softwares will be applied. |
Eventuali indicazioni sui materiali di studio:
|
The main support for the student’s understanding will be the course material provided by the teachers (hands outs, slide and presentations, course notes, exercise data, video tutorials) |
