Place
of the course |
Louvain-la-Neuve
|
| Main themes |
Provide engineering students basic notions concerning seismic and vibration problems connected with soils.
Knowledge:
- Vibration phenomena due to earthquakes and man-made sources
- Soil behavior under cyclic and dynamic loading
Know-how:
- Integrate basic engineering disciplines (soil mechanics, constitutive modeling, dynamics) to analyze seismic impact on soil and structures
- Assess feasibility and select best available design to limit impact of earthquake on civil engineering structures and to remediate vibration issues
|
| Aims |
Give to the students the main aspects of the dynamic behaviour of soils
|
| Content |
- Natural and man-made sources of cyclic and dynamic loading: earthquakes, pile impact and vibratory driving, traffic, vibrating and impact machines
- Soil behavior under cyclic and dynamic loading: pore pressure generation, soil degradation, soil liquefaction, laboratory and in-situ testing
- Dynamic behavior of foundations: spread footings, piles, low-strain and high-strain dynamic tests
- Seismic stability of civil engineering structures: soil-structure interaction, response and design spectra, foundations, slope stability, retaining walls
- Vibration criteria and mitigation
Lectures are delivered in auditoria; specific topics can be developed by individual students
