Course Objectives: | This course introduces the student who has attended the introductory shallow foundations course to the advanced solutions in foundation practice. |
Course Content: | 1 The concept of elastic and plastic equilibrium leading to at rest, active and passive earth pressure theories 2 The student learns the earth pressure theories from Rankine to Coulomb 3 An introduction to sheetpiling is made 4 The class is led to the concept of deep foundations 5 Calculation of the single pile capacity 6 Calculation of pile capacity by the use of in situ testing 7 Introduction to the software using LPD,CPT and finite elements 8 Pile group capacity and group efficiency 9 Behaviour of piles to lateral loads 10 Pier foundations 11 Caissons 12 Site visits to observe production of deep foundations |
