This lecture deals with the practical application of the knowledge gained in the fundamental lectures from the Bachelor degree.The basics of planning and design of geotechnical structures will be taught for the main topics geotechnical engineers are faced to in practice.

In this course selected famous geotechnical failures are investigated with the following purpose: (a) to deepen understanding of the geotechnical risks and possible solutions; (b) to practice design and analysis methods; (c) to learn the techniques for investigation of failures; (d) to learn the techniques for mitigation of the failure damage.
