10 «Methods of Calculating the Interaction Between Ground Structures

and Foundations»

1. Course objectives and tasks

The objective of studying this course "Methods of Calculating the Interaction
Between Ground Structures and Foundations" is to acquire knowledge in the field
of joint calculations of the "foundation-foundation-building" system, taking into
account the nonlinear properties of the soil.

To achieve these goals, the following tasks are addressed:

- Acquiring a set of knowledge, skills, and abilities in modern methods of
calculating structures and their foundations for application in professional
activities;
- Forming a mindset and value orientations where the ability to critically and
meaningfully evaluate the results of structural calculations becomes a condition for
successful professional activity.
