brief description of the course in Estonian
Kursuse jooksul käsitletakse pinnaste koostist, selle sees esinevaid sidemeid ja nähtusi, mis on olulised ehituslikust seisukohast, s.h. ka vesiehitiste puhul.
Vaadeldakse erinevaid pinnase uurimise meetodeid ja krundi omaduste näitajaid; s.h. vaadeldakse geoloogilise uuringu läbiviimise korra.
Vaadeldakse pinnase koormamisel esinevaid nähtusi, seoses pinnase stabiilsuse küsimustega ehituses.
Lahendatakse lihtsamaid arvutusülesanded vastavatel teemadel.

brief description of the course in English
During the course themes of ground constitution and connections inside it, which is essential from engineering point of view, incl. hydraulic structures, are presented.
It is dealt with different ground research methods and ground properties’ parameters; incl. consideration of geologic survey procedure.
Phenomena, which take place with loading a ground, are viewed in connection to ground stability questions in engineering.
Easier computational on these themes are solved.
