Students of the courses Civil Engineering MSc (particularly with Study Focus V) and Engineering Structures MSc (particularly with Profiles 1 and 4)

The students know the construction technologies for pile foundations and deep excavations. They make self-dependent reasonable design decisions with regard to geological engineering, site managing and economical boundary conditions. They can evaluate the interaction of building, foundation and subsoil and perform design and proof of ultimate limit state by themselves. They know and use relevant guidelines and link constructional experience, dimensioning rules and standardization to theoretical knowledge about soil mechanics.
