1. Foundation structures as a part of the reliability system “subsoil – foundation – overground structure”. Results of geological survey. Foundations reliability. Limit states of subsoil and foundation structures load-bearing capacity.
2. Interactive models of system: subsoil – foundation – structure above foundation. Comprehensive and simplified interactive system. Modelling of subsoil and foundation structures. Software Soilin.
3. Shallow foundations. Distribution of contact stress in footing bottom. Detail design of footings from plain and reinforced concrete. Detail design of uniformly pressed continuous footing.
4. Shallow foundations. Detail design of grid and mat foundations, slabs.
5. Shallow foundations. Footings of precast structures (pocket foundation) – detail design. Toroidal and shell foundations. Box and massive blocks foundations.
6. Deep foundations. Limit states of subsoil and pile. Pile foundations, group of piles, footings above piles. Anchored and non-anchored underground concrete walls.
7. Foundations dynamically loaded. Response of machines on dynamic load action.
8. Foundations in the clearances and in the special conditions. Foundation structures at reconstructions.
9. Design of storage structures (bunkers and silos). Structural arrangement, pressure of fillers, principles of solution. Dimensioning and reinforcing of individual member of storage tanks.
10. Design of rectangular and rotary symmetric reservoirs. Water reservoirs.
11. Design of channels and ducts. Principles of structures and foundations design in the undermining areas.
