Course Description & Objectives:

The course introduces to the participants the theory of soil structure interaction (SSI) both in the static and dynamic sense. The course will expose the participants to the numerical tools available for modelling such problems. It will include both theoretical lectures and hands-on solutions of practical problems using Matlab. Objectives:

To introduce the participants to theory and need for SSI in engineering designs.
To introduce the participants to the available tools for conducting SSI

Learning Outcomes:

On completing the course the student should be able to:

Include Soil-structure interaction aspects in design
Assess the need for SSI in the different design works where it maybe needed
Use the available numerical tools for SSI
