Prof. Alessio Mentani

Argomenti del programma: Requirements Prior required knowledge is considered to be acquired by the accomplishment of the Geotechnical Engineering course. Course contents The course aims at developing the students' knowledge of geotechnical engineering. It explores the application of soil mechanics principles to the geotechnical design of foundation systems and retaining walls. Geotechnical design using international codes.

Argomenti del programma: The course is divided into three complementary modules addressing coastal geotechnical processes, ground investigation, and the design of resilient coastal infrastructures. 1. Coastal geotechnics and climate change : coastal environments, geotechnical challenges, types of coastal infrastructures, and climate-change effects on coastal systems. 2.
