Soil Dynamics

NPTEL and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay via YouTube

Overview

Instructor: Prof. Deepankar Choudhury, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Bombay.

This course discusses the behavior and properties/response of soil as a material subjected to dynamic or cyclic time-dependent loading. Also, the design and principle for machine foundations come along with this course to consider the dynamic properties of both soil and foundation as combined mass. The behavior of various geotechnical structures such as shallow and deep foundations, retaining structures, slopes, subgrade soil below the 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.
