| Objective : | 1. Construction pits The student shall obtain knowledge about and an understanding of the special problems and characteristics of design of Construction Pits with special emphasis on pits with bottom below groundwater table. The student shall be able to plan the construction and design the structures in a Construction Pit. 2. Tunnel Construction The student shall obtain knowledge about and an understanding of the different types of tunnel structures are designed. The student shall be able to plan the construction and design the structures for tunnel and approach structures. 3. Port Design The student shall obtain knowledge about and an understanding of the special problems and characteristics of design of Ports, including planning of Ports, design of Ports and Harbour structures and equipment in Ports. The student shall be able to plan the construction and design the structures for offshore structures. The student, who has fully fulfilled the aim of the course, are at the final test of the course able to: • Choose and analyse a chosen port function and design it. • Determine the loads on Offshore Structures. • Evaluate and design structures in a Port • Analyse and evaluate different types of tunnel structures with consideration of the function and the physical environnement. • Analyse, evaluate and design tunnel structures. Substantiate the choice. • Evaluate need for and extent of dewatering. • Substantiate the choice of method of dewatering and design a dewatering system. • Make slope stability analysis. • Account for the cooperation in the team. |
