About the course

Course content

The course is given every second year, next time autumn 2011. Basic theory for dynamic systems with one or many degrees of freedom. Wave propagation in elastic media and soils. Development of simple spring-dashpot analogs for foundations on soils. Earthquake engineering. Pile driving. Traffic vibrations. Parameters for soil dynamics determined by laboratory and field tests. Examples of application, partly by Finite Element Methods.

Learning outcome

The course provides the necessary background for calculation of the dynamic response of foundations and geotechnical structures.
