Soil Dynamics

Soil Dynamics. Instructor: Prof. Deepankar Choudhury, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Bombay. This course discusses the behaviour and properties/response of soil as a material subjected to the dynamic or cyclic time-dependent loading. Also the design and principle for machine foundations comes along with this course to consider the dynamic properties of both soil and foundation as combined mass. Behaviour of various geotechnical structures such as shallow and deep foundations, retaining structures, slopes, subgrade soil below railway, pavement, runway due to various types of time‐dependent dynamic loading are discussed here with reference to codal provisions. The advanced course material on soil dynamics will be very useful to undergraduate students, post‐graduate students, researchers, teachers and practitioners. A number of selected problems will be solved to illustrate the concepts clearly. (from nptel.ac.in)
