ADVANCED FOUNDATION ENGINEERING

Catalog description

Presents the planning, analysis, and design of shallow and deep foundations from the geotechnical engineering perspective. Topics supporting course objectives include planning and execution of subsurface investigations, interpretation of in-situ tests, analysis and design of deep and shallow foundations, including geotechnical capacity, and immediate settlement. Assessment of deep foundation installation, axial and lateral loading tests, and group effects is presented. Evaluation of foundation performance is conducted under deterministic and probabilistic frameworks.
